Bishop’s Children Dahlia Tuber Collection
All that’s left of the Bishop of Llandaff’s Palace in Wales is an iron-gated arch entrance flanked by crumbling stone towers. But his gardens live on in the progeny of his dahlia mix. Because dahlias are octoploids, meaning they have four times as many chromosomes as most other flowers, tubers grown from seed produce a spectacular diversity of architectural leaves and blooms in a myriad of forms and colors.
This year we’re sharing some of this diversity with you through tubers as well as seed! These tuber sets are a mix of some of our favorite colors and forms that have appeared in the mix during our farm grow-outs.
Bloom colors are a mix of red, burgundy, magenta and the occasional yellow flower on foliage that ranges from purple tinged to deep burgundy.
Because these tube can be produced by us efficiently, we’re offering them in larger, value-oriented sizes. These packs represent an excellent value for money, and with their stunning colors set against dark foliage, are an excellent way to fill up your beds and borders with eye-popping beauty.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR TUBERS NOT SEED. SEED CAN BE FOUND HERE!
