Bishop of York
Pure gold rising from the darkest foliage in the border.
A garden stops midstride when Bishop of York is in bloom: vivid golden petals open wide above near-black foliage that looks dramatic even before a single flower appears. The contrast is the whole point. Van der Linden bred this for unfussy garden performance, and it delivers from midsummer through autumn without staking or fussing. Bold presence and effortless growing in one plant.

How to Grow It
Plant your tubers in full sun after frost danger passes. No staking needed. The plant naturally holds itself upright and fills out bushy. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to keep new buds coming from midsummer through fall. Lift tubers after the first frost, let them dry thoroughly, and store in a cool, dry place through winter.
