Product Description
The sight (and fragrance) of the Cyclamen Hederifolium brings a much-needed boost to the garden, at a time when most other flowers are looking more than sorry for themselves. Each slender stem carries a carefully furled bud that unwraps into a beautiful bright pink flower with shell-shaped petals. Cyclamen Hederifolium has a long flowering period before disappearing over the summer - but not without leaving behind a pretty carpet of heart-shaped marbled leaves. The Cyclamen Hederifolium originates from the Mediterranean, therefore it comes as a surprise that they are equally happy to grow in shade as they are in sun. At Parkers we recommend creating a woodland look in your garden, by planting Cyclamen at the base of a deciduous tree such as the Betula Jacquemontii (Birch Tree) with evergreen ferns and other shade-tolerant companions. While the Cyclamen is in dormancy, the fronds of ferns will create interest. The glistening white flowers of the Snowdrop accentuate the markings of the cyclamen leaves. Giant 25cm+ corms supplied. Flowers August to October. Height 8-12cm.
