Lee’s Lucille (2026) Big 6.5” shaggy coral red dahlia on long thin, nearly black stems that are perfect for cutting. This ID flower has so much personality and the sumptuous color often shows more coral if grown in high shade. Long flowering season, deep green, nearly purple foliage sets this beauty apart.
Lucille was the name of the late American blues singer, B. B. King’s guitar. In 1949, a fire broke out at a dance hall where King was performing and he ran back into the burning building to rescue his guitar from the fire started by a fight between two men over a woman named Lucille. He named that guitar and the rest of his guitars, usually Gibson models, Lucille, to reming himself to never run back into a burning building.
