Introducing Coseytown Flowers newest dahlia creation – the Fancy Single™ dahlia. What is a Fancy Single dahlia? I am so glad you asked! Fancy Singles are singles you can cut! Combining the flirty fun of open-centered dahlias with all the requisite qualifications of a certified Coseytown® Cut Flower dahlia, this is a truly groundbreaking collection of form and traits.

As our first Fancy Single dahlia to be released, Coseytown Oriole features glossy dark leaves and near black stems that create a dynamic backdrop for this plant’s abundance of fiery red/orange blooms with uncommonly dark centers. Now, Coseytown Oriole is ready to strut its stuff and steal center stage in your arrangements. So, the only question is - are you ready for a new flame in your cut flower game?

LeeAnn's Hybridizer Notes - CT™ Oriole

Growing for cut flower production: CT Oriole begins blooming around 70 days post planting and will continue until frost arrives. Stems are strong and remain upright, holding the bloom from 45 degrees to fully erect on top of the stems. CT Oriole’s buds continue to open after harvest. Stems can be harvested as soon as the bud colors up and begins to lift one petal (cracked bud stage). Ensure that plants are well hydrated at harvest time for improved vase life. Place newly cut stems in a cooler for 24-48 hours to condition and hydrate in clean water; I set my cooler to 50°F. Conditioning cracked buds in a cooler will slow their opening; they will regain bloom-opening momentum when returned to room temperature. Harvesting at the cracked bud stage, with proper handling and conditioning, will return 5-day vase life once out of the cooler. Petals will fully form and mature before any stigmas present themselves. CT Oriole is slow to make pollen, if it does at all.

Growing as a garden plant: As a garden plant, you'll enjoy the abundance of pollinators CT Oriole will attract to your environment. Skipper butterflies had a definitive preference for CT Oriole. A walk by the plants made me feel like I walked into a fairy wonderland with all the fluttering activity. Blooms look fresh and beautiful for over 2 weeks on the plant. New blooms constantly replace old blooms. This is a self-cleaning plant, making it both easy to manage and pleasing to the eye!

Growing amazing dahlias starts from having a great foundation. Genuine Coseytown® dahlia tubers are a smart investment that will reward you for years to come.

First we breed and select our cultivars for strong traits, both above and below the ground. Then we grow them with love and sell them directly to you - exclusively right here - for you to grow in your own fields and gardens. Our dahlias grow healthy, vigorous and true to variety plants that produce abundant saleable blooms and grow additional tubers in one season. Mature tubers can be stored and replanted the next growing season, or left in the ground and overwintered in warmer climates. You could say we designed everything for your confidence and growing success from the ground up - from start to bloom!

About Coseytown Cut Flower Dahlias
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
