What’s in a name? Not a passive act, cultivating hope and growing dahlias are crucial in these times — and not always easy — and we are here beside you in all the ways & seasons, Friends!

Hope is a Verb hails from innumerable crosses between dozens of collarette-style dwarf and semi-dwarf dahlias growing 14 to 30 inches tall. Their spectrum of diverse blooms are 1 to 3 inches wide with open centers dripping with nectar for pollinators, quite unlike most dahlias. Some plants express single-petal rays while most have many and others are bursting with blossoms too petaled to share their nectar with beneficial pollinators. Each seed unique! How often is it that we get to see a dahlia that has never existed before? It’s not hard to save your own seed (we hope you do!) and as you fall in love with individual plants, lift and save those tubers to enjoy for seasons to come. Hope is a Verb v.1 is the first generation (version 1, hence v.1!) we’re sharing with many, many more to come!
