  MID-WEEK SHOW

  Growing Update with Bec Scoble from “Floral & Stem”

  Guest speaker: Kate Mungovan

  Breeding New Dahlias

  10 years ago I began to grow dahlias from seed collected from my patch in Newcastle in an attempt to breed new varieties of dahlias. My aim was and still is to produce vase worthy blooms in new and unusual colours and forms What began as a simple experiment has sparked a passion for producing and sharing a new range of Australian dahlias including the dusky, smokey hues of Lileah Caramel Rose, the wavy petals of Lileah Mailman and the petaloid form of Lileah Pink Petticoats. We now grow on 2 acres located in Lileah Tasmania.
