The bright and open, magenta red blooms of Dahlia ‘Bishop of Canterbury’ are perfect for attracting bees and pollinators into the garden. As an award winning Peony Dahlia, ‘Bishop of Canterbury’ has open flowerheads and flat florets growing above attractive purple-bronze foliage.
We recommend planting dahlia tubers, such as Bishop of Canterbury, between March and June into fertile, well drained soil 15cm deep and 60cm apart. Position in a sunny location for maximum flowering and impact. After planting, water in well and monitor during the Summer months. Aim for one good soak once a week to the base of the plant.
Some tall and large flowerhead dahlia varieties may need staking for support during the flowering season. Use an all-purpose general plant feed for bigger and brighter blooms. Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers through till first frosts.
