Lee’s Punch Drunk Love is a spirited informal decorative dahlia bred by Lee Carlton, producing 3‑inch blooms with a warm peach base brushed in a rosy wash. The petals are lightly split at the tips, giving the flower a playful, slightly windswept texture that feels full of motion without becoming unruly. The color sits in the softer end of the salmon spectrum—more like the flushed exterior tones of a fresh fillet than the deeper interior hues—while the rosy overlay adds a bright, cheerful lift. On tall, upright 5‑foot plants, it sends up long, clean stems that make it a natural for cutting. True to its name, it’s a bloom with personality: lively, charming, and impossible not to smile at.
