Polar Bear Poinsettia Program


To jumpstart the Polar Bear Poinsettia Program, Polar Bears International and Paul Ecke teamed up with the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas to promote Polar Bear conservation. Paul Ecke created a larger than life Polar Bear sculpture of a mother and cub to display in the luxurious Venetian Hotel Palazzo Waterfall Atrium.

The Polar Bear Poinsettia Program is run by Paul Ecke whose family ranch in California spans four generations. The Paul Ecke Ranch is the world’s largest and most successful poinsettia breeder and more than half of all poinsettias purchased around the world have been bred by the Ecke Ranch.


The Paul Ecke Ranch cleverly asks its consumers, “What does conservation look like in full bloom?” Well, it is time we discover the answer. When you purchase a polar bear (white) poinsettia you not only buy a beautiful holiday flower, you also make a donation to Polar Bears International.

Polar Bears International is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of Polar Bears and their natural habitats through research and education. With the purchase of every “polar bear” poinsettia, Paul Ecke will make a donation to Polar Bears International. And it is the promise of the Paul Ecke Ranch that one hundred percent of all donations go directly to the projects of Polar Bears International.

In times like these when the ice continues to melt and the polar bears’ habitat continues to disappear it is wonderful to make conscientious holiday purchases. If you can help save the Polar Bears while purchasing holiday flowers, then WHY NOT? The Polar Bear Poinsettia Program makes it easy for the holidays to be a time of giving.
