Lee's Brass Monkey Dahlia Tuber

Lee's Brass Monkey is a highly sought-after dahlia variety hybridized by Lee Hemmings Carlton of Goldenrod Gardens in Zionville, North Carolina, introduced for the 2026 growing season. This variety is celebrated for its distinct autumnal coloration — a rich blend of warm, metallic tones including bronzy apricot, smoky deep bronze, and golden amber, all wrapped up in a full, lush informal decorative form.

A vigorous grower reaching 5 to 5.5 feet tall, this variety produces medium-to-large blooms measuring roughly 5 inches across, making it an excellent performer as a cut flower.
