Glenmarc Connie

The Glenmarc Connie dahlia is a stunning and underrated variety, cherished by cut-flower growers for its vibrant coloring and impeccable structural form. Bred by Alf Hardingham in Australia, it was famously misidentified as "Glenmarc Skye" for years before being verified as the true Connie. It is a reliable workhorse that produces an endless supply of high-quality blooms throughout the season.
