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 marbled petals. They have 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. An RHS award of garden merit winner. Leave undisturbed to increase flowering potential. Height 8-12cm. 13cm+ Bulbs are supplied.
