3 tubers for € 9.75
(Dark-leaved Dahlias)
Bronze-yellow variant of Bishop of Llandaff
The dahlias from the Bishop series are quite unique due to their dark leaves, dark stems, and semi-open peony-like flowers (they are sometimes referred to as Peony-flowered dahlias). With their beautiful dark foliage, this dahlia is a special addition to your border.
The roots of this beauty lie in Mexico. The Mexican Francisco Hernandez was a great fan of dahlias and began writing about them in 1615. This publicity led to dahlias being brought from Mexico to Spain. From there, the dahlia was introduced to Europe two hundred years later, in 1804, by botanist Andreas Dahl.
When the risk of (night) frost has passed, dahlia tubers can be planted.
Dig a planting hole where the dahlia tuber fits comfortably and cover it with a few centimeters of soil. Plant the tuber with the piece of old stem facing up.
Dahlias love nutrient-rich soil. You can enrich poor garden soil by mixing compost into the planting hole. They are true sun lovers, so plant them in a sunny spot.
Do you have no garden, but a balcony or terrace? Then you too can enjoy lush flowers. Dahlias thrive perfectly in pots and planters.
Want to enjoy a sea of endless flowers for as long as possible? Then cut away the faded dahlia flowers.
