This popular variety of Dahlia, Bishop of Leicester, is known for its lovely lavender blooms with dark stems and burgundy foliage. It produces masses of single, pale lavender pink flowers, each petal displaying a darker band down its center. These blooms, measuring 4-5 inches in diameter, are set off by the striking contrast of dark purple, almost black, foliage. A favourite among pollinators, this dahlia adds a touch of sweetness with its blooms of soft pink and deep orange centres.
