There are a variety of colors and sizes to choose from, the perfect plant for any home or budget. Tired of the traditional colors? Take a peek at the unusual varieties available at Behnke’s, (quantities are limited late November – Christmas).

Ice Crystals: Distinct peachy-red bracts with white centers, makes a delightful tabletop plant for Thanksgiving dinner.

Shimmer Surprise: Simple but elegant, red bracts splashed with white. No two bracts are alike.

Winter Rose Red: Unique twist on the traditional poinsettia, dark red rose like bracts. Makes a wonderful table top centerpiece.

Stephanie Fleming was raised at Behnke’s Nurseries in Beltsville. Her Mom, Sonja, was one of Albert & Rose Behnke’s four children. She was weeding from the moment she could walk and hiding as soon as she was old enough to run, so many weeds, so little time. Although she quickly learned how to pull out a perennial and get taken off of weed pulling duty.

  1. Is Behneke in Beltsville, MD open for business, my favorite nursery?
    I planted my poinsettias outside in my garden and they grew beautifully, hugh and green. Now, what do I do with them, do I leave them outside (will they bloom outside or die)?
    Do I did them up and do what with them? HELP!

  2. Hi Alma,

    I’m sorry but all our retail stores are now closed. We will continue to keep this blog up and running. As for the poinsettias, it’s almost impossible to get them to re-bloom. Best to start with some fresh plants for the holidays. Keep an eye on this website, Stephanie will be recommending some local garden centers where you can find the best plants and decorations for the holidays.

    Thanks
