Cyclamen hederifolium is often the first sign of Autumn when its charming pink flowers push their way above ground in late August and continues to flower all winter and through spring. Various shades of pink flowers darken red as the blooms age.
Hederifolium is the easiest species to grow as it will withstand extreme cold and frozen conditions in winter and high temperatures and drought in summer, when it is protected by its dormancy.
Cylamen prefer light shade and are perfect for planting under deciduous shrubs and trees, in the ground or in a container.
Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Height and spread: 10cm x 30m

This plant may be supplied in a 7cm or 9cm pot, depending on the time of year.
All our plants are supplied in 9cm pots unless otherwise specified. Plants in this size pot establish quickly in the garden and often outpace plants in bigger pots planted at the same time. Our potted plants can be planted immediately, unless otherwise noted, or you can leave them in their pots until you are ready to plant.
The majority of our plants are grown outdoors. This means that they follow their natural growth patterns and are ready to plant at any time of the year. If you order the plants in winter, they are likely to be dormant and died back to ground level, ready to shoot again in spring - just like the herbaceous perennials in your own garden. Very occasionally, in winter and early spring, we may indicate on the packing slip that a plant needs to be hardened off before planting out. This will be because it has just come out of a polytunnel. If you have any questions about our plants or growing methods, please feel free to drop us an email.
We grow most of what we sell ourselves, in our nursery in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Our prices include VAT at 20%.
Please note: We do our best to provide acurate photographs of the plants we sell, but colours display differently on different screens, printers and in different light and we cannot guarantee that what you are seeing on your screen, or on the plant label provided, will exactly match the plant when it flowers in your garden. Plant dimensions are given as a guide only and the actual sizes reached may vary from garden to garden, depending on local conditions.
