Description

Dahlia Bishop of Leicester brings the classic Bishop look, dark bronze foliage that makes the flowers stand out, combined with bright pink blooms that sit well in mixed planting. The flower form is described as peony style and bee friendly, making it a useful option where colour and pollinator support both matter.

For home gardeners, it suits sunny borders and large pots where the dark foliage gives a richer look all season. Combine with nectar partners such as nepeta, oregano, and verbena to keep pollinators working the area for longer.

Dahlia bulbs are sensitive to frost, so dont plant too early. The planting distance of the tubers is 30-60 cm and 3-5cm deep. Water the tubers immediately after planting. Store the tubers in a frost-free place after flowering and you will enjoy them for years to come.
