Lee's Halo

Lee's Halo dahlia is a serene and ethereal variety hybridized by Lee Hemmings Carlton of Goldenrod Gardens and introduced in 2023. It’s celebrated for its soft, luminous glow and impeccable form—making it a sophisticated choice for elegant wedding work and calm garden spaces.

• Color: White (W) / Light Blend. A crisp, clean white that radiates outward from a soft, buttery-lemon center. The "halo" effect is created by the subtle yellow warmth at the heart of the bloom, which gives the flower an inner light that remains clear and bright throughout the season.
• Form: Formal Decorative (FD). Features layers of perfectly placed, rounded petals that create a full and exceptionally tidy bloom. ADS Classification: BB FD W (Small Formal Decorative White).
• Bloom Size: Small (BB). Blooms typically reach about 4 to 4.5 inches (10–11.5 cm) in diameter, a versatile and photogenic size that works beautifully as a focal point in mid-sized arrangements.
• Height: Tall. Grows to approximately 4.5 to 5 feet (135–150 cm) tall, with a strong and upright growth habit.
• Performance: Productive and Elegant Cut Flower. Praised for its long, sturdy stems and clean, healthy foliage. It is a reliable producer that holds its "inner glow" well, offering a sophisticated alternative to pure white dahlias for florists seeking depth and warmth.
