Coseytown™ Tallboy

Coseytown™ Cut Flower Dahlias
We're Here for the Workhorses


The heartbeat of Coseytown Flowers is firmly rooted in developing the best possible dahlia cultivars for profitable cut flower production. Our cut flower breeding program has been shaped by our own experiences and frustrations as a cut flower farm in search of the best dahlia varieties to bring maximum impact to our operation and bottom line... and our enjoyment as dahlia enthusiasts too!
 
Every Coseytown dahlia candidate begins its journey in our fields - and must earn its stripes over many seasons to keep its place there. To earn the distinction 'Coseytown Cut Flower Dahlia' each new cultivar must demonstrate its ability to consistently meet or exceed expectations for the following nine key Coseytown traits for maximum utility, productivity and profitability for cut flower production:

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

Your purchase of Coseytown™ dahlia tubers is a smart investment that rewards you for years to come! Dahlia tubers grow plants which are true to variety, produce saleable blooms and grow additional root tubers in one season. Mature tubers can be stored and replanted the next growing season, or left in the ground and overwintered in appropriately warm growing climates. Either way, prepare to enjoy these incredible flowers for years to come!

More Info:

  • Dahlia tuber orders are shipped for spring-time planting in your area. See our shipping page for more details.

  • Listings for named dahlia cultivars are for single division root tubers. Unless otherwise noted, quantity 1 = one tuber.

Introducing Coseytown Tallboy. This dapper gent can rock a white tux like no one you’ve ever seen all while keeping his cool when the heat is on! It’s time to tackle the dog days of summer with a tall drink of Coseytown Tallboy!

As his name suggests, Coseytown Tallboy is no short guy. No need to feel intimidated by this 6’ tall gentleman though - we’re confident he’ll become the white dahlia you go steady with. Pinching and continual harvest keep plant height well managed while he continues to work for you, pumping out the blooms. 4” fully double blooms with high petal count are supported by slender yet strong stems above the leaf canopy. These stems have integrity! It is common to harvest 20” stems without a negative effect to plant growth or subsequent bloom flushes.

But the quality that really puts Coseytown Tallboy head and shoulders above his peers is his sensitivity to your needs a cut flower grower - standing up to the heat in the dog days of summer and continuing to produce marketable white blooms that resist burning despite high humidity, full sun, multi-day 100F weather here in the mid-Atlantic. He’s no summer fling either, continuing the romance into the fall and maintaining his closed center until frost. How about long-term commitment? Coseytown Tallboy isn’t afraid – he’ll be happy to produce ample, high yielding eyed tubers for many seasons to come.

LeeAnn's Hybridizer Notes
Early on in his journey through the Coseytown Cut Flower Dahlia hybridization program, CT™ Tallboy quickly set himself apart from his seedling peers when I was in desperate need of white blooms during an extended summer heat wave. It was then I noticed the quality of the blooms being produced when other dahlias had wilted - and rightfully so. I wilt under intense heat!

But CT Tallboy’s seasonal resilience, notably withstanding a higher heat index than his dahlia peers quickly secured him a spot in the propagation line up. As always, keep your plants well hydrated during prolonged high heat events and avoid getting the buds and blooms wet; good management lets your superstars reach even higher! Pair CT Tallboy up with CT Early Girl in your cut flower program for the ultimate supercouple to get your season started off good and early and keep it going long and strong.
