Great dahlia!
The dahlia tubers I bought from you have produced a magnificent display! I would certainly buy more in the future. Thank you.

The plant did flower and I expect it to do more in successive years. I have lifted the tubers and stored them in my greenhouse.

The flowers were beautiful but I was very disappointed that only one tuber flowered well and one didn't grow at all.

I planted mine near a penstemon 'Raven', Physocarpus Diabolo and other purple coloured dahlias. I loved the end result. I'm hoping to add a few more "Bishop of Llandaff" this year.The plant was strong and healthy and performed very well despite being neglected for a while in the summer.

Best pure Dahlia with fantastic dark foliage. Not hardy needs lifting or lots of mulch over-winter. Most prolific growth and flowering when in planted in a pot so worth considering locating pots in border and removing to shelter in the winter.
