A small suburban front garden in North Yorkshire, UK

Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff'

Review Notes: Deservedly popular, this peony dahlia has striking, semi-double, bright vermilion-red flowers, 5-6cm across, from July to September and dissected, fern-like, dark red-purple leaves.  It's perfect for a border based on 'hot' colours, as part of an exotic scheme, or alongside other plants with purple foliage.  It requires a sunny site with fertile, humus-rich soil and makes an excellent cut flower.
The Royal Horticultural Society has given it the Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
