Specializing in Breeding and Growing Healthy, Beautiful Dahlias

At Carpe Dahila, our mission is to breed new dahlia varieties to bring joy to gardeners, flower farmers, florists, and all those that love flowers. To support that mission, we are dedicated to creating tools for dahlia breeders manage their seedlings, investigating methods of virus control and virus removal, and growing healthy parent plants and seedlings for the next generations of Carpe Dahlia varieties.
