Cyclamen Flame White – Winter Bedding (Set of 3 or 6)

Cyclamen Flame White is a winter bedding cyclamen, grown for bold, upright white blooms 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 pairs easily with primroses and snowdrops, and lifts a pot by a door through the coldest weeks. 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 1L pots, grown in peat free compost in Yorkshire. Cyclamen tubers are harmful if eaten.
