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

Cyclamen Silver Leaf White is a winter bedding cyclamen, grown for white flowers with swept back petals over silver marbled, heart shaped leaves.

The flowers keep coming through the coldest, dullest weeks of the year, when very little else in the garden is doing anything. The marbled foliage earns its keep on its own once flowering slows, and the plant stays low, neat and compact.

It sits happily in raised beds and shady corners, and the silver marbling carries the display on once flowering slows. Plant it in partial or full shade, in pots, window boxes, hanging baskets or the front of a shaded border, where it is also happy underplanted beneath trees and shrubs. Supplied as three or six established plants in 10.5cm pots, grown in peat free compost in Yorkshire. Cyclamen tubers are harmful if eaten.
