Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff'

Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff' is a shrubby, tuberous perennial plant with dark, almost black, foliage. This produces a stunning contrast with its scarlet flowers. The plant was named after Bishop Hughes of Llandaff in 1924 and won the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1928. The plant is about 1 m tall and flowers from June until September.
