Hollyhill Dahlias is owned and operated by Ted and Margaret Kennedy of Oregon City,
Oregon. We have been growing dahlias since 1988. We enjoy breeding new varieties and
exhibiting dahlias in shows. Margaret is the chief pollenizer and selects the plants to be
crossed and carefully hand pollinates them. We grow over 1000 dahlias from seeds each year
and keep only the best of them. It takes about 4 years to develop and test a new variety.
We are both dahlia show judges and exhibit in numerous shows each year. Margaret loves to
show baskets of dahlias and has recently begun entering flower arrangements in shows.
We also sell cut flowers during the season and enjoy the feedback we get from our customers.
