✂ Cut Flower★ Award Winner
Bishop of Llandaff
The dahlia that earns its place before it even blooms.

The deep bronze-black foliage alone is worth growing. When the vivid scarlet flowers open above it, the contrast stops people mid-stride. Bred in Cardiff and named in 1924, it holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit and has been a garden designer staple for a century.
