"Bishops' Children"

I have been so disappointed with the performance of dahlia tubers in the past, I can't seem to get them to shine. This year I bought seeds of singles for the insects to enjoy and they have been stunners. We have 2 pots near the front door and others dotted about the garden. Mostly they have been a mix of startling reds and oranges, but a few purples too. Recommended..

Terrific. You've reminded me that I had this last year, but I think it's gone (or been smothered by some thugs, possibly!).

Just hunted for my Bishops children and discovered it alive and in bud 🙂.

Glad you've found it, Sheila!

Thanks , Janey. I shall mark the ones I want to keep. The flowers in this pot are enormous.
