Lee's Kewpie

Lee’s Kewpie is a charming mini ball dahlia featuring warm, sunset-inspired colouring and a perfectly rounded form. The 2.5-inch blooms open with a rich orange base gently softened by a pale warm blush overlay, creating subtle depth and a luminous, blended effect. Its tightly arranged petals form a classic ball silhouette that holds beautifully throughout the season.

Plants grow to approximately 3 feet in height and produce an abundance of well-formed blooms on sturdy stems. The compact bloom size makes harvesting efficient and versatile, while the strong stems ensure excellent performance in bouquets and market work.

Its warm orange-blush tones pair beautifully with peach, terracotta, muted coral, soft cream, dusty rose, and autumn palettes. Lee’s Kewpie adds structure and warmth to arrangements while maintaining a refined, balanced presence.
