Bishop of Oxford Dahlia Tuber | Copper Orange & Dark Foliage | Ships Spring 2027

Bishop of Oxford, Copper Light Against Velvet Leaves

A warm little sun for the garden, ‘Bishop of Oxford’ opens its copper-orange petals above a rich backdrop of eggplant-purple foliage. Golden stamens circle a dark center, giving each open-faced bloom an easy, painterly charm. Beautiful in a mixed border or gathered into a small vase, it brings warmth and contrast to the summer garden.
