Description

Dahlia Bishop of York delivers the strongest contrast combination for late season impact, bright yellow flowers against dark, bronzed foliage. The blooms are single, which keeps the centre open for bees and butterflies, so it is pollinator friendly and useful as a late nectar source in mixed planting.

For home gardeners, it suits sunny borders and big containers near patios, giving clear colour and noticeable pollinator activity. Add companion nectar plants like salvia, thyme, and verbena to extend the feeding season around the dahlias.

Plant after frost risk in full sun and free draining soil improved with compost. Feed from bud stage, deadhead regularly, and lift tubers after the first frosts.
