Lee’s Ellis (2022) this introduction from my breeding program has everything I could ask for in a dahlia for floral design: beautiful 3” smoky coral/matte salmon flowers, consistent decorative form with split petals, long stems that are thin, strong and productive throughout the growing season. The plants are on the taller side- up to 5.5’ for me this season with plenty of rain. This one is also a great tuber producer!

This beauty was named after my oldest niece- vivacious, rosy cheeked Ellis Turnipseed
