Our dahlia, Whistling Bee’s Dawn’s Early Light, makes my heart so happy. It is our first dahlia introduction and has inspired me to follow my passion for dahlia hybridizing. I’m so grateful to @triplewrenfarms for all of their support. If you love her as much as I do and want to grow her in your garden, she’ll be available for sale soon through @triplewrenfarms. Stay tuned!

Today we’re featuring Dawn Hubbell from @whistlingbeefarm. Dawn was a member of the Novice Hybridizer Class of 2024 and is the creator of Whistling Bee’s Dawn’s Early Light.

Ever since she was a little girl picking dandelion bouquets for her grandmother, Dawn has had an affinity for flowers. It wasn’t until later in life, though, that she embraced this passion by starting Whistling Bee Farm and Florals. Dawn enjoys providing sustainably grown flowers and blueberries to her community in the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York, realizing her dream of creating a farm that nurtures plants, pollinators, and people by spreading kindness and joy through flowers.

A few years ago, she started to pursue her interest in dahlia hybridization. In keeping with her mission to support pollinator populations, the dahlias she is hybridizing are bred with pollinators in mind.🐝 Dawn is working to hybridize dahlias that feed pollinators and can be enjoyed both in the garden and in a vase. When Dawn first saw this dahlia seedling growing on her farm, its magenta petal coloration radiating from its yellow center reminded her of a sunrise. 🌅 It seemed fitting to name the dahlia Dawn’s Early Light. Through her work with dahlias, she looks forward to adding more beauty to the world through flowers.

💜This winsome dahlia sparkled every way we attempted to use it at the farm this past summer. Despite its novelty or single form, it holds its petals well when cut. Above all, it attracts pollinators of all kinds like a magnet. It was always a treat to combine it with other varieties, as you can see from the bouquet video. We’re excited to grow lots of Whistling Bee’s Dawn’s Early Light on the farm this year and then share it all over North America. Keep watching our blog and Instagram this summer as we grow and create beauty with this wonderful dahlia. 💐

On our daily farm walk, we came upon a resident snapping turtle strolling through our meadow. I guess we all wanted to enjoy this beautiful day by walking the fields!
