The dahlia 'Bishop of Dover' has delicate white unfilled flowers with a light lilac-purple accent. Typical of the Bishop dahlia varieties, this dahlia also has dark foliage that contrasts beautifully with the delicate flowers. Due to its short height, this Bishop dahlia is perfect for planting in pots. Due to the dark foliage, this dahlia can be combined with various perennials, but is also beautiful with other summer bloomers in pink or white tones. Bishop dahlias flower profusely from early summer to late autumn and attract bees and butterflies due to their wide open flowers.
