It brings colour to autumn and winter containers, window boxes and baskets when most other plants have finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flowers rise above compact mounds of deep green, heart-shaped leaves with attractive silver marbling. Cyclamen persicum flowers over a long season through autumn and into winter, and removing spent flowers with their stalks keeps the display going.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 12 young plants, growing one to a cell in 2 plastic 6-cell trays, ready to plant out into containers, window boxes, baskets or the front of a sheltered border. Choose a spot in partial shade that is out of cold wind and has good drainage. Water at the edge of the plant rather than over the crown, flowers and leaves, and avoid overwatering. A balanced liquid feed every two to three weeks during flowering will help.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cyclamen is not hardy. It will take a light frost in a sheltered container, but a hard or prolonged frost will kill it, so treat it as one season of autumn and winter colour and move it under cover in severe weather. The tubers should not be eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cyclamen, Florist's Cyclamen, Persian Violet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cyclamen persicum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 20-30cm tall and 20-30cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, low-growing mound with upright flower stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Containers, window boxes, hanging baskets, patio displays and sheltered border edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep green, heart-shaped leaves with silver marbling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn into winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep rose and soft blush pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial shade, sheltered from cold wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not hardy.
