    Not so many years ago, relative to the history of horticulture, even a now-ubiquitous phrase like “pollinator plant” wasn’t part of our everyday gardening language and mindset the way it is today.

But the poinsettia wasn’t always synonymous with this time of year, today’s guest tells me – like once upon a time more than a century ago the Chrysanthemum took center floral stage from Thanksgiving to New Year’s, surprising as that might sound. Whether historic or cutting-edge modern, horticulturist Matt Mattus reminds us there are many choices of festive blooms – including various ones we can grow ourselves indoors, and he has tricks for perfecting even the most familiar of those, your Amaryllis, for instance.
