Dahlia Bishop Of Llandaff
€4.95
The Dahlia Bishop of Llandaff features striking red flowers with dark bronze foliage. It is bee-friendly, recommended by the National Dahlia Society, and an RHS Award winner. The flowers are paeony-shaped and bloom all summer long, growing to a height of 100 cm (40 inches).
Planting depth: Plant tubers 15 cm (6 inches) deep, spaced 60 cm (24 inches) apart. Start planting in March onwards.
Uses: Ideal for borders and bedding, this dahlia is also perfect for cut flowers. Shorter varieties can be grown in containers on the patio or balcony.
Expert Tip: Dahlias thrive in well-cultivated garden soil enriched with organic material and prefer sunny, sheltered sites. For earlier flowering, start tubers indoors in April using a light soil mixed with compost. Keep them moist, cool, and frost-free until it's safe to plant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. For cut flowers, trim only when fully bloomed.
