Prices for poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) depend upon the source and the timing of the purchase.
Specifically, it is possible to get the lowest price possible - nothing - if one receives a poinsettia plant as a gift or if one knows someone who has a poinsettia plant. Poinsettias are marketed as annuals whose life span basically begins and ends with the Christmas holidays. But in their native southwestern Mexican environment, they are perennial shrubs whose lives span at least a couple of years.
Poinsettias can reproduce by seed or by vegetative cutting. Cuttings easily are done. All that is needed is a healthy poinsettia.
Poinsettias originate from Mexico.

From Mexico
Poinsettias are called flores de nochebuena because they are flowers that are beautiful at night.
Poinsettias represent purity, good cheer, and success. They are commonly associated with Christmas because of a Mexican legend about a poor girl who presented weeds as a gift to baby Jesus, which miraculously turned into poinsettias. This story has led to the tradition of using poinsettias as decorations during the Christmas season.

Poinsettias are associated with Christmas because of a Mexican legend about a poor girl who wanted to give a gift to baby Jesus. She was inspired by an angel to pick weeds from the roadside, which miraculously turned into beautiful red flowers, now known as poinsettias. This story has led to the tradition of using poinsettias as decorations during the Christmas season.
Poinsettias were brought into the United States by Joel Robert Poinsett in 1825. He brought this plant from Mexico, where poinsettias are native plant or shrub that can grow to 15 feet in height .Poinsettias are usually associated with the Christmas season.
A couple years is how long poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) can grow.Specifically, poinsettias are perennial shrubs in their native southwest Mexican and Central American homelands. Outside that native range, they tend to be grown as annuals whose life and death take place over the course of a year. But they have the potential to live much longer, if such critical conditions as appropriate levels of heat, light intensity and moisture are met.
