Lee’s Brass Monkey is a moody, bronze‑toned informal decorative dahlia with wide, expressive petals that pull apricot and salmon hues as they catch the light. The center deepens to a soft raspberry‑pink, adding richness without overwhelming the bloom. Up close, the petal movement is striking—each one tilting and curving like a single salmon in a schooling flash, giving the whole flower a sense of coordinated motion. On towering 5–5.5 foot plants, the stems are astonishingly long, thin, and strong, with excellent flower attachment. The first flush often sends side buds up on stems just as long, making deep cuts especially rewarding. With its long vase life, superb storage, and dramatic color, Brass Monkey is a must‑grow for richly toned arrangements.
