Greetings flower friend, come join us on a journey to Grow Amazing Dahlias!

Here at Coseytown Flowers we specialize in floriculture education and the hybridization and sale of new Coseytown-Certified Cut Flower dahlia cultivars known for their leading traits in health, growth, vigor and profitable cut flower production. As an independent occupational American hybridizer and self-supporting family farm, every dahlia tuber and seed we sell are grown for you with love by their originators at Coseytown Flowers.

Leading the charge is LeeAnn Huber - the independent occupational American dahlia hybridizer, educator, flower farmer and entrepreneur behind it all. Prioritizing continual growth in knowledge and practice is our guiding star, and LeeAnn's passion for lifelong learning and applying evidenced based approaches in an agricultural context is embodied in her daily mantra ‘Every day is a school day!’ LeeAnn has amassed a following among fellow cut flower farmers and gardening enthusiasts, where she is known for taking topics head on in a thoughtful and engaging way while sharing her expertise on all things dahlias.

LeeAnn, who’s agricultural heritage spans many generations in the mid-Atlantic region, was raised on a beef cattle farm specializing in cattle breeding. LeeAnn graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Animal Sciences and International Agriculture before starting a successful career in Sales and Marketing. Following her promotion to motherhood, LeeAnn left the corporate world and formally incorporated Coseytown Flowers in 2015, turning a hobbyist’s daydream into her full-time business. Located among the gently rolling hills of Greencastle, PA, dahlias were a focal point for Coseytown’s local cut flower sales from the beginning and it wasn’t long before LeeAnn began a hybridization program to cultivate her own line of dahlias specifically bred for cut flower production.

About Our Work

FLORICULTURE EDUCATION
At Coseytown, prioritizing continual growth in knowledge and practice with scientifically informed learning and evidence-based solutions isn't just something we practice - it's also what we teach! Farming and gardening is all about growth, and we're here to meet you where you're at on the journey. We believe real transformation is achieved through a process of continual growth and aren't about dispensing one-size-fits-all prescriptions or what-works-for-us advice. We're in to partnering rather than patronizing, and assisting rather than admonishing, because when you have Coseytown in your corner you're in a safe place to grow! CLICK HERE to explore our various free and paid resources available through the Coseytown Dahlia Academy.

      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 health management, 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.
