D: Coralie
Beautiful English heirloom dahlia. For its size range, it is the most productive dahlia I grow- blooms all summer long plus makes lots of tubers. One of the first varieties to flower each summer and they don’t stop until they freeze- it was within my first 10 to bloom last season. This bummer crop of the most beautiful soft blush-pink with soft glowing center grow on top of long dark stems. Like many dahlias, slight color changes with the season- sometimes the pink shows more and sometimes more muted blush
Very useable size for arrangements, big and eye catching but not too big! They have a plush fullness to them. I will never go without this lady in my cutting patch. For weddings, a must. For market bouquets also a must grow. I find I constantly mix it with wine eyed jills and cafe au lait (in photos its with wine eyed Jill). Robust strong plants. Very similar to the hard to get Castle drive (Coralie is slightly more pinkish, has darker stems and for my understanding is much much more productive).
