Description
Collection of 5 assorted dahlias from the Bishop series showcasing dark-coloured foliage and stems and single to semi-double head-like flowers that are attractive to bees and other pollinators. Reaching a height of no more than 1 m (3 ft), with lighter flowers measuring 10-12 cm (4-5 in) in diameter, Bishop landscape dahlias are less susceptible to rain and generally do not require staking. They are highly floriferous plants from July to October, boasting pretty colours. They will even charm critics of dahlias who consider their large flowers too artificial for the garden. Create wildflower bouquets with the cut flowers too!
The collection consists of:
1 Bishop of Llandaff: semi-double scarlet-red flower heads with a very dark brown centre. Extremely dark foliage that is almost black-purple. Up to 1 m (3 ft) in height.
1 Bishop of Oxford: coppery orange-red flower heads, dark stems and bronze-green foliage tinged with purple to aubergine colour. Approximately 90 cm (35 in) in height.
1 Bishop of Leicester: pale lavender-pink flower heads with yellow centres and bronze foliage. Height: 60-70 cm (24-28 in).
1 Bishop of Dover: white flower heads lightly washed with lilac-pink with a golden centre, and dark bronze-brown foliage. Average height: 85 cm (34 in).
1 Bishop of York: soft golden-yellow flower heads with orange centres and chocolate-brown foliage. Approximately 90 cm (35 in) in height.
Labelled separately.
With their simple forms and stunning dark foliage, landscape dahlias are excellent garden ornaments. They pair very well with medium-sized grasses, verbenas (Verbena hastata, Verbena officinalis Bampton, etc.), and bronze fennel, for example. Landscape Dahlias have large single and naive corolla-shaped flowers, making them classics in English gardens. They beautifully enhance the layout of a dedicated flower bed or even a large glossy pot on the terrace. These plants also pair well with the grey foliage of artemisias (Powis Castle, Lambrook Silver).

Planting and care
Plant your dahlias during fine weather in deeply worked and enriched soil, for example with crushed horn or dried blood. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to fill in without air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with 6 cm (2 in) of soil. After planting, pour in 1 litre of water. Water regularly during the first 6 weeks to help with rooting. Dahlias are sensitive to cold and must be overwintered. In November, the first frosts will blacken the foliage; this is the time to uproot them. Carefully dig up the tubers, removing as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so that the tuber can replenish its reserves. When the foliage is dry, cut the stems 10 cm (4 in) from the tuber. Spread your bulbs in a crate on newspaper. Store in a frost-free, cool, dry and dark place.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
