Cyclamen 'Silver Leaf Magenta' – Silver Foliage and Winter Flowers (Set of 3 or 6)

Cyclamen 'Silver Leaf Magenta' sets magenta swept back flowers against patterned silver foliage through the coldest months.

The silver leaf is the point of this series: the marbled, heart shaped foliage holds the display together long after any one flush of flowers, giving high contrast in a winter border, a patio pot, a hanging basket or a shady corner. Plants stay compact at about 15 to 20cm each way and work well as underplanting.

Each plant is delivered freshly potted in a generous 10.5cm container, already rooted and established, grown peat-free in Yorkshire. They give one long season of autumn and winter colour. Cyclamen tubers are harmful if eaten.
