Cal Poly’s annual poinsettia sale is back for the holiday season with thousands of plants in dozens of varieties and colors.

Red, pink, white, variegated ... chances are there is a color to match your holiday theme.

The poinsettias, grown by horticulture and crop science students in campus greenhouses, range in size from 4-inch pots to 3-foot-tall decorative statements. Prices range from $8 to $75.

In addition to poinsettias, the sale also features student-made wreaths, centerpieces, succulents, ornaments and gifts.
