The story behind the well-known fluorescent pink poinsettias.

You may have noticed that Princettia? Poinsettias are abundant in their beautiful shades of pink and white this time of year. Did you know that there's a heart-warming story behind this odd 'Christmas' plant?

It holds a special place in people's hearts and has become a beloved tradition to give to loved ones. Would you like to know more about the history of the Princettia? brand and where it originated from?

Did you know that the beautiful Princettia? is a compact new type of Poinsettia? It's the princess among poinsettias, and it's easy to assume that it comes from South America, but its sweet colours reveal its true origin: Japan.

A country that's well-known for its sweet pinkish colours of Cherry Blossom trees, vivid kimonos, and super cute Hello Kitty animations. Princettia? is a registered trademark owned by Suntory Holdings Limited 's flower department, a brewing, and distilling multinational company. Bred through a joint venture in Australia, this plant is a global superstar. However, if you're in Europe, you can find it at the renowned plant pioneers from MNP / Suntory in the Netherlands.

Princettia? adds a pop of colour to your interior, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during the colder, darker days.

The Princettia? plant has a more compact growth pattern and stronger branching than traditional Poinsettias. Its bracts are smaller, thinner, smoother, and more abundant, giving it a unique appearance. This plant blooms earlier than the classic red Poinsettias, making it a great addition to your home even before the festive Christmas season. Consider Princettia? as interior jewellery for your living space. Princettia? comforts you when the weather begins to cool down outside. Imagine yourself…

You are sitting comfortably on a large sofa, surrounded by soft pillows. You're wearing a cosy jumper with a warm woollen blanket over your legs. In your hand, you're holding a steaming mug of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream while the sweet aroma of homemade apple pie wafts through the air from the oven. This feeling of comfort and contentment is similar to the ambience that Princettia? brings to your home. These colourful plants instantly create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Princettia? has been a game changer. It is a prime example of successful floricultural marketing, thanks to the well-thought-out and sustainable strategy behind the brand.

Poinsettias can be grown and sold year-round, but we only use them during Christmas. Fifteen years ago, the breeders and marketers from MNP / Suntory wanted to do something else to disrupt this quite traditional European market. Their vision was to extend and create a more extensive playing field for poinsettias. They thought it would open a whole new market if they could develop poinsettias with different and stronger colours than only the traditional red ones, making them early flowering and more compact. And so Princettia? was born.

The extension of the poinsettia season brings benefits to everyone involved. Propagators can sell more, poinsettia growers can cultivate and sell their plants earlier alongside their traditional red varieties, garden centres can use them as a smooth transition from flowering plants to Christmas stars, and consumers can enjoy the bright and cheerful plants to get into the holiday spirit.

By the way, have you ever wondered which spelling is correct: ambiance or ambience?

Both “ambiance” and “ambience” are correct spellings of the same word. The term “ambiance” originates from a French word that means “surroundings.” It refers to the overall mood or atmosphere of a particular setting. Therefore, when referring to the atmosphere that Princettia? creates, we at Princettia? use the French term “instant ambiance.” Source: grammarly.com
