Product Description
Dahlia Mignon 'Bishop of York' bears bright yellow single flowers, in contrast with its sensational green-purple foliage. They will produce an abundance of stunning flowers from June to October. They prefer to be in a sunny location, and look superb in pots on the patio or in a sunny border. This is a magnificent performer, the single open nature of its blooms make it an excellent late source of nectar for bees and butterflies. It's perfect for cutting, deadhead regularly and feed with a potash-rich fertiliser to prolong flowering. Height 60-70cm. Top grade tubers supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Dahlia tubers can be planted outdoors, 10cm deep in fertile well-drained soil in spring when the frost has disappeared. They prefer to be in a sunny location and spaced at approximately 45cm apart. In areas where there is extreme cold, dig up dahlias and store in potting compost over the winter. Apply a high potash fertiliser every few weeks in the summer to help growth. Dead head when necessary.
