Plant and Care

Plant summer flowers in well-draining soil and a sunny spot for the best blooms. Water deeply but avoid overwatering, and add mulch to retain moisture. Regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer helps keep plants healthy. Deadheading—removing faded flowers—encourages continuous blooming and prevents the plant from using energy on seed production

Shipment

We expect to have our final flower bulbs/tubers in stock by the end of January. Orders will be processed starting in February, and delivery may take 2-4 business days.

Dahlia 'Bishop of Leicester' is a charming variety with soft pink flowers that bloom from July to September. This semi-hardy plant reaches an established height of 70 cm to 1 meter, with a blooming spread of 10-20 cm. The dark green foliage creates a striking contrast against the pink blooms, adding elegance to your garden.

Perfect for wildlife and cut flower gardens, as well as large containers, 'Bishop of Leicester' is easy to grow and can be planted 3-5 cm deep with 3 tubers per square meter. It flourishes in sheltered or exposed positions, ensuring a beautiful display throughout the summer months.
