Poinsettia Sales on Track

Poinsettia sales remained somewhat steady in 2006, according to SAF's post-Christmas online survey of retail florists. Almost half the respondents reported sales of Poinsettias "about the same" as the year before. A quarter of the florists saw their sales improve from the previous year (24 percent) while almost a third (31 percent) reported declines. Roughly 59 million Poinsettias were sold for Christmas 2006.
