Bishop's Children Dahlia Seeds Art Pack

$ 4.95

Where art and horticulture meet.

Seeds:  Dahlias are octoploids, meaning they have four times as many chromosomes as most other flowers, so the seeds produce a spectacular diversity of architectural leaves and blooms in a myriad of forms and colors. Part of the joy in planting the Bishop's Children is that if you find one you love, you simply harvest and store the tubers to plant next year. Congrats: you are a plant breeder!

Bishop's Children blooms in mix of red, burgundy, magenta and the occasional yellow flower on foliage that ranges from purple tinged to deep burgundy.

Specific:  Dahlia variabilis.

Esté Macleod is an artist and designer who draws inspiration from travel, nature, dreams, seasons, sentiments and everyday surroundings. In her digital illustration, she uses colorful, abundant forms to celebrate this dahlia.
