Description
Dahlia Bishop of Leicester is an elegant Single Flowered Dahlia, admired for its striking rich purple blooms, upright bushy habit and exceptionally long flowering season from summer until the first frost. This beautiful variety adds colour, height and structure to borders, mixed perennial beds and cutting gardens.
The large single to semi double flowers appear from mid summer onwards and create a stunning contrast against the dark green foliage. Rich in nectar, the open blooms attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators, making this dahlia a valuable addition to a wildlife friendly garden.
Dahlia Bishop of Leicester thrives in a sunny position with fertile, well drained soil. Its upright growth makes it ideal for the middle or back of borders, where it provides months of colour. Regular deadheading encourages the plant to produce even more flowers throughout the season.
Although not hardy, the tubers can easily be lifted and stored frost free over winter. With its elegant flowers, long flowering period and excellent performance as a cut flower, Dahlia Bishop of Leicester is a wonderful choice for gardeners looking to add lasting beauty to the summer and autumn garden.
