Lee’s Tilda Dahlia
Dahlia Lee’s Tilda, introduced in 2026 by Lee Hemings Carlton, is a big, fluffy dream in creamy peach, soft apricot, and warm blush tones. The fully double, 4+ inch blooms have incredible depth and presence, with layer upon layer of petals creating that full, almost pillowy look that immediately stands out in the garden and absolutely steals the show in bouquets.
The easiest way we can describe her? Think Lee’s Chloe coloring with Lee’s Sugaree fluff and presence. If you love those warm, hard-to-describe blender shades, Lee’s Tilda fits right in. The creamy peach and apricot coloring shifts subtly from bloom to bloom, making it incredibly easy to pair with blush, peach, caramel, cream, bronze, pink, and other warm-toned flowers.
And Tilda isn't just pretty. She handled our Southern heat remarkably well, continuing to produce those big, fluffy blooms through the kind July and August - conditions that can make some dahlias seriously give up.
Plants reach approximately 5 feet tall, producing fully double blooms around 4 inches across on strong stems beautifully suited for cutting. With a combination of soft coloring, impressive flower form, bouquet presence, and heat tolerance, Lee’s Tilda Dahlia quickly earned a spot among our favorite warm-toned cutting varieties.

Customer Conduct Policy
Customer Conduct Policy
We’re all about respectful and constructive communication—it’s how we ensure a positive experience for everyone in our growing community. If you have feedback or concerns, please reach out to us directly so we can resolve the issue promptly and fairly. We’re here to help, and we take pride in finding solutions that work.
That said, we reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or void guarantees if a customer engages in disrespectful behavior. Over the years, we’ve seen too many growers face devastating challenges because of impatient or unfair actions, like airing complaints publicly on social media before giving the business a chance to address them.
Here’s the deal: If customer service matters are taken public before we’ve had a chance to help, we may choose to walk away and void guarantees. Likewise, if we see posts that are intentionally damaging or rude behavior toward other growers in the community, we reserve the right to decline your orders altogether.
We’re all in this together, so let’s keep it kind, constructive, and focused on growing beautiful things. 🌱
Grow & Care
Grow & Care
Dahlias are tender perennials, vigorous and fast growing. Dahlia tubers must be lifted for the winter from the ground in zones 7 and lower.
Planting:
Dahlias require soil that drains freely. Clay soil should be amended. Planting in raised beds can help alleviate moisture concerns. Tuber loss due to moisture rot is the leading cause for plant loss.
Plant 6" deep. Dig hole at least twice the width of your tuber to reduce soil compaction.
Label and stake your Dahlia at planting. Tubers do not need to be watered unless you are dealing with especially dry conditions. Whatever Mother Nature provides will be enough.
Care:
When Dahlias reach 10-12", the center tip should be pinched. This will create a bushier plan and yield more blooms. Without pinching, the plant will grow one tall, thick central stalk.
Your Dahlias will bloom from mid-summer until frost. Keep spent blooms trimmed and you'll enjoy repeat blooms all season long.
