💡 Tip from Urban Botaniks: Poinsettia Dark is a great choice for pots and places where you want the plant to have both a decorative and practical function . The large clusters of upright dark red fruits create an impressive effect, and the moderate pungency makes them much easier to use in the kitchen than the extremely hot decorative varieties.
