    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 virus 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 exclusive of time, labor, and other indirect costs.

    Meet Coseytown Kay! This plant is going to make many farmers and cut flower growers a very profitable season. First blooms start appearing 8.5-9.5 weeks after field tuber planting and continue blooming heavily throughout the season. The bloom sits upright on the stem making it a great bunching dahlia. You can harvest when the dahlia is beginning to open, and it will continue to bloom in a cooler. Be aware that this flower NEEDS SUNSHINE to create the pink blush color. It will continue to open white in the cooler (which could be good if you are short on whites!) Extended rainy days will also produce a mostly white bloom. 

    Once the daylight hours shorten to below 11.5 hrs per day (late in the season) this dahlia has a tendency to bloom open, but it has run a marathon from July-September! 

    Coseytown Kay makes some of the best tubers in size, shape, and storability. Plus it's generous on eyes, so make sure to save all the tubers when dividing, and they could very well be hiding a latent eye that will pop up later in the spring.
