OUR COMMITMENT TO HEALTHY DAHLIAS
At Coseytown Flowers we are fully inspected and licensed by the State of Pennsylvania for the production and distribution of plant materials and seed. Our proactive management practices include disinfection using 10% bleach solution between every plant rotating snips. We have an expert’s eye and a ZERO tolerance policy for symptomatic plants. As a component of our disease management plan, our active pest management plan utilizes a variety of measures based on seasonal risk level with continual monitoring from first planting until final tuber harvest.
We test for common RNA and DNA dahlia viruses including TSWV, TSV, INSV, and DMV and make substantial costly recurring investments into ongoing proactive dahlia health management, testing and research to create and utilize best practices in the responsible propagation of our plant stock. Recent investments into our virus testing and research program include 5-figures worth of direct cost investments. CLICK HERE to learn more about Coseytown Flowers and the work that we do.
LeeAnn's Hybridizer Notes
Coseytown Hocus Pocus is a seedling of the infamous cult-favorite Hollyhill Wicked Witch. Harvest blooms at half open, when the petals are still closed in the center, for maximum vase life as they continue to gradually open over the coming days. There is no guarantee that the color pattern displayed on the plant one year will be consistent in subsequent years. This is all part of the spell of Coseytown Hocus Pocus.
