Thank you for your interest in our original Coseytown dahlia creations brought to you by independent American dahlia hybridizer LeeAnn Huber and the Coseytown Flowers team! Our investments into the cut flower and dahlia enthusiast community are paid for by the plants we propagate and sell to you. Thank you for your support of:

    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. CLICK HERE to learn more about Coseytown Flowers and the work that we do.

    When you get to know Coseytown Malibu, growing is like experiencing another day in dahlia paradise. Coseytown Malibu’s 3” blooms feature a high petal count, recurving fully to the stem, and have been described by floral designers as a warm pink coral in color. Don’t be fooled by her pretty face though. This is a robust, densely foliated 5’ plant with a vertical growth habit that remains productive, delivering high-quality blooms late into the growing season. In fact, Coseytown Malibu is known to maintain its beautiful form and petal count right up until the day frost arrives here in the mid-Atlantic.
    Malibu makes abundant and generously eyed, easy storing tubers – and she grows one of my favorite tuber types. Not too big, not too small, no necks to break, and she maintains firmness in long term storage conditions.

    LeeAnn's Hybridizer Notes

    Continual stem harvesting is your friend when monetizing Coseytown Malibu as a cut flower. One of her greatest strengths is her robust upright plant habit, which results in thicker stems early in the cutting season. So don’t be afraid to cut your 18” long stems, as these plants can take it and subsequent stem regrowth with be slenderer while just as strong.  Additionally, do not skip pinching in the spring. When dividing, keep any tuber that has a hint of crown attached as she’ll regularly surprise you with latent eyes in the spring.
