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? It’s time to break new ground and shatter old conventions with Coseytown Oriole!

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 an easy to manage and attractive plant.
