Care

Dahlia ‘Bishop of Llandaff’ is a tough shrubby Dahlia that generally does not require staking.

Best planted in a free draining soil, ‘Bishop of Llandaff’ will reach around 1m in height with a spread of around .5m. You could grow them in a large container or simply plant them in the garden border in a cottage garden, try to give it enough room to spread.

A humus rich well drained soil is essential, and in Australia you can get away with leaving the tubers in the ground over winter, as long as the soil is a sandy well drained type, and you do get heavy frosts. Otherwise lift in late autumn and over winter in a cool dry shed.

Dahlia ‘Bishop of Llandaff’ is available for sale from the following nurseries
