A Sneak Peek Into Wholesale for the Holidays
The Esbenshade's Advantage
At Esbenshade's, all our Poinsettias sold are grown by our wholesale operation at our greenhouses in Lititz, PA. Esbenshade's wholesale greenhouses grow over 200,000 Poinsettias in preparation for the holiday season in 25 different varieties - including 6 shades of red. We offer high quality, premium Poinsettias at affordable "grower-direct" prices. Our Poinsettias are guaranteed fresh through New Years' Day. Visit our stores this holiday season and shop the largest local selection.
Our Poinsettia Production Schedule
Production begins in July and the growing timeline continues until plants arrive at retail stores in late November. Beginning in July, we are busy rooting Poinsettia cuttings and starting pre-finished and finished Poinsettia production. Next, Poinsettias are potted and spaced in August. In September, pre-finished Poinsettias are shipped, giving us more room to space the finished Poinsettia crop. Plants continue to grow through October, awaiting shipment for the holiday season. Early varieties of finished Poinsettias are on the shelves and selling by Thanksgiving. Check out below for photos of Poinsettias during their production cycle.
We welcome you to visit our retail stores and enjoy their beauty through the holiday season!
