SteveM Teddahlia Berry Purple is a normal 4 feet tall and a productive cut flower My HH Berry Purples were 5+ feet grown in full sun and 7+ feet when grown under 30-40% shade cloth. It was the tallest variety I grew last year. The growth habit was very good (upright) so did not require extra staking.
Teddahlia First year seedling: Cell phone picture and it deserves a real camera to show all those spots and dots. I really like this one and had not seen it until just before the tour when someone we know was deadheading the seedlings. It was only partially open the day before the tour. I was very tired after the tour but pulled out enough energy to take some pictures of it fully ripe and finding out that that it is a seedling of HH Peachy Keen making it a 7th generation seedling. It is nice to have a really nice one be seen by so many people. It is a big flower at over 7 inches in diameter. Pink background with dark red spots is a rare color combination. And lastly, the seedling is almost 6 feet tall and still growing!
Krista Teddahlia Thank you for sharing this capture! Here’s my crap-resolution attempt - this one also has drool-worthy stems and the bloom truly glows, it’s just outstanding. Also, could I ask who this loner by the greenhouse is? Whoa, what a babe!
Juliarugula Teddahlia First year seedling: Cell phone picture and it deserves a real camera to show all those spots and dots. Really gorgeous - love this one!
Teddahlia We grew a Hollyhill PDX Sunset in a pot with HH Regal. They do not pair well in a pot as PDX is a giant horse. DX is one of the easiest large dahlias to grow and makes good tubers.
Teddahlia Margaret used this pink cactus second year seedling in her Hogarth curve entry at the National show. It is a prolific bloomer and has excellent flowers with no disbudding and even better if you disbud.
KitCMC Teddahlia it looks particularly beautiful with the red accents! Congrats to Margaret & Hollyhill!
Juliarugula Teddahlia that is such a perfect arrangement! I think out of all of Margaret’s arrangements you’ve posted this might be my favorite - it’s so delicate and balanced.
Krista Emilyp Pretty! I love a nice dark stem. To delete: three dots menu on the post itself > edit > delete content
blown_dry Emilyp I went ahead and deleted it since I was here, but @Krista is correct about how to delete your own posts. 🙂
Teddahlia I took this picture with my cell phone yesterday. This is seedling 20-150, a 6th generation seedling of our breeding. I hope Margaret will name it as it is really pretty and it is a bit more open during the day as this was taken in the very early evening. Good tuber maker and keeper too.

Krista Teddahlia Wow, it’s fantastic when bloom-photos capture that spirally petal pattern. This flower is outstanding, her colors, I’d love to have her growing in my waterlily bed!
