Blooms as white as a chorister’s surplice contrast beautifully against dramatic, near-black foliage when Dahlia 'Bishop of Dover' comes into bloom. Even before the buds open, you’ll enjoy the wonderful foliage contrasts you can create when you plant this dahlia against a backdrop of lighter greens. But it’s undoubtedly the bloom time that is the most spectacular – and it’s a long one. Don’t hesitate to cut flowers for the vase, you’ll just stimulate your Dahlia 'Bishop of Dover' to produce even more of those attractive, cream-centred flowers.

With a little extra care, you’ll have dahlias blooming in your summer flower garden for years to come, so don’t be shy about spoiling yourself and treating your garden to some quality dahlia tubers from Farmer Gracy.
