A Bit of History

‘Linna’ is celebrated by growers for its blend of elegant color and dependable performance. It was introduced to dahlia circles in the early 2000s and has since gained admiration for being an excellent cut variety with attractive foliage and strong structure.  Gardeners often recommend it for its dual appeal—beautiful in the garden and generous in the vase. Some describe its blooms as “soft sunshine kissed with rose,” and its robust stems and consistent production make it a favorite for both collectors and practical gardeners alike.
