Description

Flowering through winter, cyclamen provide a delightful colour boost to any garden from late winter to early spring injecting life when gardens tend to be subdued. Preferring partial (or even full) shade, they work well for naturalising under trees where they can be mixed with other woodland plants like primroses and snowdrops.

With bold red flowers, that almost resemble goblets, these delicate blooms are truly captivating and will keep flowering through the season. Even when not in flower, the dark green variegated leaves provide additional texture and shape to areas where it’s sometimes difficult to plant up.

Lovers of shade, Cyclamen can also be used as house plants, but be aware they can be toxic to dogs and cats.
