Dahlia Bishops Children Mix
A fabulous cut flower to grow from seed!
Dahlia Bishop’s Children is gorgeous; with its dark bronze coloured foliage against the warm, fiery shades of red and pink flowers.Â
It has large, single flowers with flat petals and stands around 1m tall.
They bloom from mid summer until the first frosts and will produce tubers at the end of the first season.Â
You can grow so many dahlias inexpensively if you grow from seed, it’s well worth giving a go!Â
