🌸 Full Product Description

✨ Dahlia ‘Lee’s Ember’ — Copper Rust with a Rosy Shadow

From the breeders at Goldenrod Gardens, Ember offers a striking palette of rusty copper on the front of the petals, contrasted by deep rose on the backside. Occasionally, that rosy hue peeks through toward the centers of the front petals as seasons progress. Abundant flushes of blooms appear throughout the growing season atop long, dark stems. According to Goldenrod, the plants hold strong at ~4 ft tall.

As for the Moose twist:  I strolled by this one at dusk and nearly tried to roast me some mallows. No luck — it’s way too pretty to burn.
