As an independent occupational hybridizer, family farm and woman-owned business, here at Coseytown Flowers we make significant investments into the creation, propagation and sale of our dahlia cultivars, which is how we choose to make hybridizing them a viable and sustainable occupational endeavor for our family and our small team. Moreover, as a business we have, and will continue to, reinvest heavily into the creation of market leading protocols, products and services for the cut flower and dahlia markets through the support of those who invest in us with their patronage.

As the dahlia market continues to evolve, we have found it necessary and prudent to protect our business and ability to continue to serve our customers in this way. Accordingly, we have chosen to invest into our rights as a business involved in the creation and sale of an original product, which are protected by terms of sale, intellectual property rights and, most importantly, the goodwill and support of our customers and community. A special note is made to Sellers & Resellers of dahlia cuttings and tubers to review the Terms of Sale found below when considering the purchase of Coseytown® dahlias as restrictions apply to these activities.

Patrons of Coseytown Flowers can be assured that you are encouraged to both grow and multiply your stock of our dahlias whether for your own enjoyment or their use in local cut flower production and sales, wedding and event work, floral design and related activities. Indeed, that's what Coseytown dahlias are all about!
