{"product_id":"col-add-cyc-woo-star","title":"Cyclamen persicum – Winter Flowering Bedding Plant (Pre-Planted Wooden Square)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCyclamen, also called florist's cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum), brings flowers and marbled foliage to the garden through autumn and winter. This one arrives already planted in a wooden star square planter, ready to stand on a patio, doorstep or porch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaves are heart-shaped, dark green and marked with silver, and the flowers rise above them for several months. It is a compact, mounding plant that suits a sheltered spot at the front of a seasonal display, and colours include pink, red, white and purple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plants are growing together in the planter and need no further potting. Stand it in a sheltered position out of cold wind, in partial shade. Water at the edge of the planter rather than into the crown, and keep it on the dry side. Cyclamen will take a light frost in a sheltered spot, but a hard or prolonged frost will kill it, so treat it as one season of autumn and winter colour. Pull off spent flowers with their stalks to keep new ones coming. It also makes a thoughtful plant gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tubers should not be eaten, by people or pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cyclamen persicum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cyclamen, Florist's Cyclamen, Persian Cyclamen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 20-30cm tall and 20-30cm wide (variety dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact and mounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patio pots, window boxes, porches and sheltered doorsteps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark green, heart-shaped leaves with silver marbling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn to early spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink, red, white and purple\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\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not fully hardy.
