Novice Hybridizer: Lee Pusch

LEE PUSCH

Lee Pusch owns a small flower farm called Lillee’s Blooms in Maple Ridge, B.C., Canada. Although Lee lives in Canada, she lives quite close to both Triple Wren Farms locations, and shares a very similar microclimate.

Lee has been growing dahlias on her two-acre farm for approximately six years. She started during the pandemic as a personal outlet, and also to honor her mom’s memory. Lee celebrates her mom’s name in her Viva’s bloom prefix.

Dahlia seedlings have become Lee’s obsession since receiving her first package of dahlia seeds in the early 2020s. As the years go by, she finds herself growing fewer known varieties and more of her own seedlings. Her favorite dahlia forms are collarette and anemone dahlias.

Lee belongs to the Vancouver Dahlia Society and is working toward her judges certification. The more she learns about dahlias, she is on a quest to become the best grower she can.

Viva’s Vixen

Viva’s Vixen came to Triple Wren Farms through our Triple Wren’s Novice Class of 2024 Novice Hybridizer Program. Lee’s dahlias blend passion, proximity, and purpose—AND they are absolutely delightful.

Viva’s Pixie Dust

Viva’s Pixie Dust was grown out of the Triple Wren’s 2025 Novice Hybridizer Program. It’s been truly a standout bloom and a visitor / social media darling that will soon be growing in so many beautiful gardens throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Viva’s Boho Rose

Viva’s Boho Rose was also a part of our Class of 2025 Novice Hybridizer Program, and it wowed us from the very beginning. Steady and sturdy in any type of design work as well as a delight in the garden, Viva’s Boho Rose (like all of Lee’s dahlias at our farm!) is one we feel sure will endure and honor her mother’s legacy through every vibrant bloom.

We are thrilled to grow Viva’s dahlias at Triple Wren Farms, and share them with the world. Watch our Instagram and our emails for more information about when they’ll be available!
