Lee’s Mariposa (B Grade Tuber)

Meet Lee’s Mariposa, a breathtaking 4 inch coral beauty that glows in the garden and shines in the vase. Its perfectly layered petals shift from warm peach to rose tones, with a soft raspberry center and a dusting of purple. To me, it’s reminiscent to American Dawn with some of her qualities. Each dark stem produces large, full flowers with strong bloom connection and angle; ideal for cutting. This variety is a standout both for color and form; a true showstopper in the garden and a florist favorite for its long vase life and consistent bloom shape. Plant height 4’. Hybridized by Lee Hemmings Carlton of Goldenrod Gardens and released in 2024.

B-Grade Dahlia Tuber: B-grade tubers are healthy, viable tubers that will grow and bloom true to variety. They may have multiple cosmetic imperfections, thin necks, runts, or have lost a little too much moisture. These tubers are fully plantable and will thrive for you, but did not meet our top-select standards for full price. B-grade tubers are normally tubers we would keep to plant ourselves, but we have extra and are selling at a significant discount. We will never send out a tuber that isn’t viable. There are no guarantees with B-grade tubers. Only purchase if you are comfortable with these conditions. 

Honoring the Hybridizer: 10% of each sale of this variety is returned to Lee in appreciation and support of her breeding and hybridizing work. Information on Lee's seedlings can be found here.
