Dahlia Bishop of Canterbury
D4001
Description
A beautiful regal dahlia, paeony-flowered ‘Bishop of Canterbury’ is a star of the late-summer border with its rich and velvety magenta petals, golden centres and striking dark foliage.
The semi-double blooms flower for months on end, usually from mid-July onwards and have nectar-rich centres adored by bees, butterflies, and a host of garden pollinators.
The strong, sturdy stems do not require staking and means dahlia ‘Bishop of Canterbury’ is also an excellent choice for long-lasting colour in summer containers. Interplant with wiry stems such as scabious, verbenas or salvias for added texture and movement.
