Description

Cyclamen are one of the most popular varieties that we supply. The flowers of cyclamen coum vary from pale to deep pink with a very glossy foliage. Like all cyclamen cyclamen coum can be grown under trees or in the open. The foliage is also very distinctive and is wonderfully and varied and in its self is of great interest.

Growing Instructions

Plant in soils that are well drained and do not become waterlogged over winter. Cultivate soils to a depth of 8cms and plant corms no deeper than 2.5cms and  10cms apart. In heavy soils such as clay add grit or humus matter to help with drainage. In sandy soils add organic matter to help with fertility. Keep the soil fertile to encourage naturalising and if you are concerned that the soil is not fertile enough feed them with bone meal or similar.They will naturalise and spread really well. After a number of years they may need to be divided. Dig them up when the flowers have died back and re-plant farther apart.

They are happy in full sun or semi shade in the borders, rockeries, under trees and shrubs and also look superb in containers. Crocus like all bulbs need to be fed so if the soil is not fertile enough use bone meal or similar to feed during the leaf and flower stage.

Ideal foods are well rotted manures, grass clippings, tomato feed and bone meal.

Key Point: Supplied in pots and will naturalise much quicker than a dry bulb, producing a mass of smaller flowering off shoots.

AGM = Awarded a Garden Merit by the RHS for its easy and proven garden performance.
