Introduce a touch of elegance with Dahlia 'Bishop of Leicester'. From midsummer until early autumn, this bushy peony-type dahlia produces masses of single, pale lavender pink flowers, each petal bearing a darker band down its centre. The open flower structure makes 'Bishop of Leicester' a popular variety with pollinators, making it an ideal choice for the wildlife conscious gardener. The luminous blooms contrast strikingly against bronze-purple foliage—a stunning and vibrant focal point for your borders and pots!  

It's impossible to have too many Dahlia 'Bishop of Leicester' in the garden, so you’ll be delighted to hear it is spectacularly easy to propagate. In spring, snip off a few of the new shoots once they’ve reached around 8cm tall. Insert into a pot of free-draining compost, and give them warmth, light, and plenty of misting. Soon, roots will appear, and you'll have your very own 'Bishop of Leicester' offspring to weave throughout the garden.
