White Poinsettia ‘Whitestar’

‘Whitestar’

White has always been an important poinsettia color for us—it’s our second biggest seller behind red. Interestingly, the white version outsells the next most popular shade—pink—by four times, reliably. Classic white puts on a festive show alone or as a stylish neutral complement to our wide range of red, pink, burgundy, and art-style varieties.

Big bracts with clean edges

Now you know we take pride in the quality of our poinsettias—we grow them to have big bracts, thick stems, and clean edges. To produce a top-notch plant we have to start with a premium cultivar, so our white of choice is ‘Whitestar’—it hits all the marks.

Creamy white with no halo

Poinsettias are all about the show and ‘Whitestar’ has very large showy bracts. They’re creamy white with no halo and no whitish edges—this is one of the cleanest whites available. It’s actually a popular variety for painting.

You’ll notice that the bracts are held flat across the top for a lush, full canopy. ‘Whitestar’ has great branching, and we like the contrast of the elegant winter white against the light, bright green of the leaves.

A touch of refinement for formal displays

For church displays, contemporary living spaces, and dining tables at formal events, distinguished white poinsettias are especially appropriate. They blend easily into combinations and evergreen arrangements, adding a touch of refinement while still keeping step with the jubilant nature of the season.

Our ‘Whitestar’ white poinsettias are available in the following sizes: 4.5-inch, 6.5-inch, 7.5-inch, 8.5-inch, and 10-inch round pots, as well as the 14-inch and 24-inch Hearthside planters.
