Dahlias
Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff'
Bishop of Llandaff Dahlia
Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff' produces brilliant red blossoms that stand out beautifully against its deeply colored, nearly black foliage. A member of the peony-flowered group, its semi-double blooms feature two or more rows of broad petals surrounding a prominent golden-brown central disc. Measuring about 3 inches across, the open flowers have a light, graceful form that balances the richness of the dark foliage. Their exposed centers also provide easy access for bees and other pollinators.

Planting & care

Regular watering and feeding encourage healthy growth, while mulch helps conserve moisture. Removing spent flowers keeps plants blooming freely from summer into fall.
