Dahlia Bishop Of Leicester

Bishop dahlia

Attractive lilac coloured flowers against bronzed foliage. Good for pollinators.

Dahlias really are the stars of the summer, providing both style and substance to border and container displays and offer great value to boot. Over the last few years, we have seen renewed interest in these amazing plants and every summer, our trials garden becomes ablaze with colour for a long stretch and see’s us cutting armfuls of blooms for months.

At the end of the season tubers can either be lifted and stored or given a deep mulch to preserve them overwinter before starting again the following year. Half-hardy perennials, grow in full sun although they will tolerate some shade.
