GNE Marlene Dahlia Tuber

🌸 ‘Marlene’ Dahlia Tuber

Exclusive Grown in New England Hybrid

‘Marlene’ is a one-of-a-kind dahlia variety, hand-hybridized here in New England and named in memory of my grandmother. This flower is more than a bloom — it’s a story of patience, love, and the quiet beauty that comes from growing something with intention.

After three years of careful selection, ‘Marlene’ earned her place in the garden for her elegant form, luminous color, and strong performance in a New England climate.

This is the very first year she is being offered — in extremely limited quantities.
