Lee’s Anna Jean is a richly colored formal decorative dahlia bred by Lee Carlton, producing early 4–6 inch blooms in smoky raspberry tones that soften or warm depending on day length. In long summer light, a green eye may appear before fading in later flushes; as days shorten, the bloom picks up gentle orange undertones while holding its raspberry core. The color sits beautifully within the salmon spectrum—more akin to the deeper, berry‑washed hues seen along the flanks of mature fish than to flesh tones. With long stems, a full, high‑petal form, and steady production on 4–5 foot plants, Anna Jean is a florist favorite and one of the most distinctive personalities in the Lee’s Collection.
