Lee's Hubba Bubba

Lee's Hubba Bubba dahlia is a playful and high-energy variety hybridized by Lee Hemmings Carlton of Goldenrod Gardens and introduced in 2023. It’s celebrated for its nostalgic, bubblegum-pink coloring, exceptional stem quality, and uniform growth—a favorite for creating high-impact, whimsical floral designs.

• Color: Pink (PK). A vibrant, saturated bubblegum-pink with a luminous quality. The color is remarkably stable throughout the season, maintaining its bright, "candy-coated" appearance from the first mid-summer bloom until the final fall harvest.
• Form: Formal Decorative (FD). Features layers of broad, perfectly arranged petals that create a full and tidy bloom with a clean silhouette. ADS Classification: BB FD PK (Small Formal Decorative Pink).
• Bloom Size: Small (BB). Blooms typically reach about 4 to 4.5 inches (10–12 cm) in diameter, offering a sturdy and photogenic size that stands out in both garden borders and bouquets.
• Height: Tall. Grows to approximately 4.5 to 5.5 feet (135–165 cm) tall, with a vigorous and upright growth habit.
• Performance: Elite Cut Flower. Praised for its incredible stems—long, dark, and exceptionally straight—providing a sophisticated contrast to the bright pink petals. It is a highly productive variety that blooms early and consistently, making it a reliable workhorse for florists seeking a "perfect pink."
