Lee's Scarlet Macaw Dahlia Tuber

Lee's Scarlet Macaw is a highly sought-after dahlia variety hybridized by Lee Carlton of Lee's Dahlias and introduced through Goldenrod Gardens. Its dynamic, ever-shifting color acts like a living watercolor painting — blending hot scarlet, faded red, and raspberry pink with yellow highlights at the base, then shifting to peachy pink with faint stripes or soft tan under shaded conditions. The formal waterlily blooms even partially close at night, adding an extra layer of charm to this already captivating variety.

A prolific producer, Lee's Scarlet Macaw begins blooming in late July and rewards growers with continuous flushes deep into September when harvested regularly.
