A stark contrast to the dark brown, bronze foliage beneath. These white open flowerheads will benefit bees and other pollinators in the garden.

As a Peony Dahlia, ‘Bishop of Dover’ is part of a well known group of Dahlia named after UK bishoprics, such as ‘Bishop of Llandaff’. available).

We recommend planting dahlia tubers, such as Bishop of Dover, 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.
