Lee's Evelyn

The Lee’s Evelyn dahlia is an elegant and glowing variety introduced by Lee Hemmings Carlton of Goldenrod Gardens. It’s celebrated for its luminous "lit-from-within" appearance, exceptional stem strength, and refined petals—making it a top-tier choice for wedding floristry and sophisticated garden displays.

• Color: Yellow (Y) / Primrose. A soft, buttery primrose yellow with a glowing lemon center. The color is delicate and creamy, often fading to a pale parchment near the petal tips, giving it a romantic, antique feel.
• Form: Formal Decorative (FD). A perfectly symmetrical bloom with smooth, slightly rounded petals that lay flat and overlap precisely, creating a clean and polished silhouette.
• Bloom Size: Small (BB). Blooms are typically 4 to 5 inches (10–12.5 cm) in diameter, a versatile "workhorse" size for bouquets.
• Height: Tall. A vigorous and upright grower, reaching approximately 4.5 to 5.5 feet (135–165 cm) tall.
• Performance: Professional Cut Flower. Highly praised for its long, dark, and incredibly sturdy stems. It is a prolific producer that holds its heavy, high-petal-count blooms upright, ensuring they never "nod" in a vase.
