Lee's Beech Glow

The Lee’s Beech Glow dahlia is a radiant and high-performing variety hybridized by Lee Hemmings Carlton of Goldenrod Gardens. Bred on Beech Mountain, North Carolina, it is celebrated for its "golden-hour" glow and its ability to provide non-stop warmth to both summer landscapes and professional floral designs.

• Color: Peach-to-Apricot Light Blend. Features sunset-hued petals with a rosy wash on the undersides that makes the flowers appear to glow. The color is dynamic, shifting from touches of coral to a neutral cream depending on the temperature.
