Product Description
Cyclamen appear at a time when most other flowers are looking more than sorry for themselves. Cyclamen Cilicium brings a boost of pale to mid pink to window boxes and borders, each slender stem carrying a carefully furled bud that unwraps into a beautiful flower with shell-shaped petals, on a pretty carpet of heart-shaped marbled leaves. 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. 13-15cm bulbs supplied. Flowers August to October. Height 10cm.

Growing at a glance…
Cyclamen are perfect for naturalising if left undisturbed. Apply a leaf mulch annually to help protect from frost. Cyclamen corms can be planted at approx 5cm deep and 15cm apart, in fertile and well-drained soil. They also prefer to be located in areas that are fairly sheltered from harsh winds, like against a wall or under plants for cover.
