googled it, but don't really address putting them in the landscape before the holiday season, just a lot of information after the plant is done.

Poinsettias grown in Hawaii. They are an under canopy plant that will take early morning sun only. In Hawaii they grow to be large bushes if planted in the ground. They are very appealing to white flies. I had several large ones in my yard planted from Christmas pots that I cut down because of the white flies.
