They used to cut the flower stock and put it in a glass of water with blue ink, and in about 1 week the color will be blue.

I saw about ten different colored poinsettias in Wal mart today. You could tell by looking at the leaves that they had been sprayed with a thin paint or dye.
They were well done and quite pretty. Some even has sparkles added to them Denise

Through a process of tinting and spraying.
Red still most popular but new colors sparkle

Depends on the manufacturer.

They use white poinsettias, and they spray them with dye.
