A Bit of History

Coorabell Astrid is an Australian-bred dahlia created by the Wedd family of Coorabell in northern New South Wales. Dating to around 2016, this beautiful variety is part of the highly regarded Coorabell collection of dahlias.

Coorabell Astrid has become especially desirable among cut-flower growers because it combines strong stems, excellent productivity, beautiful form, and an incredibly versatile pastel color palette.

One of the most captivating qualities of Coorabell Astrid is its ability to shift in color throughout the growing season. Blooms may open predominantly pale buttery yellow with delicate salmon highlights, while later flowers can develop stronger peach, blush, and salmon-pink tones. This natural variation means every harvest can look just a little different.
