Dahlia Bishop of Dover
OUT OF STOCK
Dahlia Bishop of Dover has striking dark foliage which ehance the wonderful white flowers that are produced from June to October. The flowers have a slight hint of lilac through the petal and cheery yellow centres. The single open nature of its blooms make it an excellent late source of nectar for bees and butterflies, and other pollinating insects. It's perfect for cutting, deadhead regularly and feed with a potash-rich fertiliser to prolong flowering. They prefer to be in a sunny location, and look superb in pots on the patio or in a sunny border, where they will grow to heights of between 60-70cm. We supply top grade tubers.

Dahlia tubers can be planted 10cm deep in fertile well drained soil, outdoors 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 a cool peat over the winter. Apply a high potash fertiliser every few weeks in the summer to help growth and they can be dead headed when necessary.
