Dahlia Mignon Bishop of Canterbury have vivid cerise/purple flowers which contrast well with its sensational dark foliage. They will produce an abundance of stunning flowers from June to October. They prefer to be in a sunny location, and look superb in pots on the patio or in a sunny border. The single open nature of its blooms make it an excellent late source of nectar for bees and butterflies, and other pollinating insects. It's perfect for cutting, deadhead regularly and feed with a potash-rich fertiliser to prolong flowering. Height 60-70cm. Top grade tubers supplied.
