Coseytown Penny

The heart of the hybridization program at Coseytown Flowers is firmly rooted in developing the best possible dahlias for profitable cut flower production. Our hybridization priorities have been shaped by our own experiences as a cut flower farm in search of the best varieties to bring maximum impact to our operation and bottom line - and our enjoyment as dahlia enthusiasts too! 

We're Here for the Workhorses
To earn the distinction Coseytown-Certified Cut Flower a new cultivar must demonstrate its ability to consistently meet or exceed expectations for the following nine key traits for maximum profitability:  

∙ Tuber Productivity
∙ Tuber Storability
∙ Plant Growth Habit
∙ Stem Length
∙ Stem Strength
∙ Bloom Productivity
∙ Blossom Orientation
∙ Blossom Attachment
∙ Vase Life

If this one had an online dating profile, it would say something like this: Tall, original, colorful lady who can weather a storm easily (...and she has really long legs, haha! View the product video for more details). Meet Coseytown Penny!

The name Penny is a nod to her seed parent Ferncliff Copper. She inherited all the best plant and tuber qualities and then some. This plant can grow up to 7 feet tall. No, that is not a typo. This is the strongest plant in my field. She withstood the remnants of a hurricane without breaking a stem - even though she was planted of the end row breaking the winds! Make sure you pinch out the terminal bud in the spring and you'll be rewarded with super long, strong, slender stems. 

I asked 10 different people to describe Penny's coloring and gotten 10 different responses. She's different. My best color description would be a warm amber overlayed with raspberry. In the fall it slightly changes. It's like it has a bronze filter and looks more toward brown. Clear, right? You grow her and let me know what you think!

Learn About Coseytown

Here at Coseytown Flowers we specialize in the creation, cultivation and sale of new dahlia varieties, with leading plant traits in health, growth and vigor, for the cut-flower and enthusiast markets.

Leading the charge is LeeAnn Huber - the dahlia hybridizer, educator, flower farmer and entrepreneur behind it all. Prioritizing continual growth in knowledge and practice is our guiding star, and LeeAnn's passion for lifelong learning and applying evidenced based approaches in an agricultural context is embodied in her daily mantra ‘Every day is a school day!’ LeeAnn has amassed a sizable and engaged following among fellow cut flower farmers and gardening enthusiasts, where she is known for taking topics head on in a thoughtful and engaging way while sharing her expertise on all things dahlias.

Coseytown Flowers strives to offer only the highest quality single-division dahlia tubers and premium dahlia seed. All dahlia tubers are guaranteed true to variety, and I will never sell anything I would not personally be satisfied to receive myself ...but don't just take our word for it, check out what our flower friends are sharing.

All our tubers are individually labeled, and all orders are individually inspected for quality and accuracy prior to shipment. Additionally, international tuber orders (currently Canada) are individually inspected by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Coseytown Flowers dahlia fields and storage facilities are inspected annually by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and we possess all needed inspections and licensing to sell dahlia tubers and seed. Every dahlia tuber and seed sold have been grown right here in Greencastle, PA.

At the heart of our mission is the Coseytown commitment to transparency with continual growth in our core values of healthy plants, happy pollinators and responsible production. We take the health of our plants and tubers seriously by testing for and providing our dahlia plants with the proper conditions, nutrition and proactive management for optimal plant and pollinator health. We also proactively test for the following major DNA and RNA viruses: Dahlia mosaic virus (DMV), Dahlia common mosaic virus (DCMV), Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV), Tobacco streak virus (TSV) and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV).
