Our homegrown cyclamen are looking fantastic and are exceptionally good value.Whilst we grow larger cyclamen to have as Christmas houseplants, the type of cyclamen I am referring to here are hardy cyclamen for outdoors.
A delightful tuberous perennial (plant once but it will reward you with colour year after year) that provides colour when little else is flowering. Cyclamen flower mostly in autumn and winter but can extend into early spring. Hardy cyclamen are ideal for naturalising under trees, on banks or in a shady border and planted in association with other early-flowering woodland plants such as snowdrops and primroses.
As a winter plant they don't mind the cold and personally we love them for brightening up containers and providing low level colour at the base of trees and fronts of borders.
At £1.99 each or 3 for £5 they are a bargain!
