Like a glass of full-bodied claret, Dahlia 'Bishop of Auckland' is a toast to timeless floral sophistication. With deep crimson petals, the blooms will bring a sumptuous richness to your garden.

This impressive dahlia is from the ‘Bishop and Paeony-Flowered series’, prized for their jewel-like tones set against a dramatic backdrop of dark, bronzed foliage. The open-faced flowers prove enormously popular with bees and butterflies.

With a flower diameter of 10 cm and plant height of 90 cm, 'Bishop of Auckland' Dahlia is an outstanding performer and flowers for months on end.

Dahlias thrive in rich soil, and an application of well rotted manure is most beneficial.

de Jager's dahlia top size, top quaility tubers are supplied polythene bags, in which they may be safely kept until planting time, stored in a cool place. 

Care Guide

To grow Dahlias, select a sunny spot with well-drained soil, and dig a 30 cm deep hole. Plant the tuber 10 cm below the soil surface, spacing multiple tubers 45 cm apart, or 90 cm for taller varieties. Water consistently, maintaining moist but not saturated soil and protect new shoots from slug damage with eco-friendly methods. Feed plants during the blooming period with liquid plant food. Provide support for stems which will reach 60-90 cm tall depending on variety. Enjoy spectacular blooms from late summer until first frosts. Cut or deadhead the flowers regularly for a continually flourishing display. Once blooming has finished, cut back foliage before lifting, drying and storing the tubers in peat-free substitute, in a frost-free place until the following spring.
