A colourful addition to a sheltered garden in winter, these cyclamen can be planted into pots, windowboxes, hanging baskets or border edges to add a splash of dazzling colour during the darker months of the year. Often producing their rich, purple-pink flowers over several months, they can also be used as cool season houseplants, popped on a bright shelf or windowsill well away from hot or drying locations.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged and remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves to encourage continuous blooming. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser during the growing season to promote healthy growth, and in the garden, protect from severe cold by covering with a double layer of horticultural fleece.
