Lee's Clara Dahlia Tuber
Lee's Clara Dahlia Tuber – Tawny-Peach, Blush & Soft Yellow
Lee's Clara is a highly sought-after, vintage-inspired dahlia bred by Lee Hemmings Carlton of Goldenrod Gardens in Western North Carolina. A warm, glowing blend of soft tawny-peach, blush, and soft yellow brings a vintage, romantic tone to bouquets — but the real intrigue lies in its evolving form: as the season progresses, blooms uniquely mature from a classic open decorative shape into a semi-cactus form as the petals begin to curl gently inward.
Growing 3 to 4 feet tall, this variety produces blooms measuring 4 to 4.75 inches, giving florists two distinct textures across a single growing season.
