{"product_id":"col-add-flo-tro-cyc-purx1","title":"Cyclamen – Purple Winter Bedding Plants (3 Plants in a Floral Tin Trough)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePurple cyclamen bring rich colour to a porch, patio or doorstep through autumn and winter. This ready planted floral tin trough holds three Cyclamen persicum, the florist's cyclamen, with wooden handles and a moss top dressing for a finished, gift-ready look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact, mounding plants carry upswept flowers in purple and pink above deep green, heart-shaped leaves marbled with silver. They flower for months, from autumn through winter and into early spring, when little else in the garden is in bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three plants arrive growing together in the trough, so there is no potting to do. Stand it in a sheltered spot in partial shade, out of cold wind, such as a porch, a patio or beside the front door. The handles make it easy to carry to wherever you want the colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater at the edge of the trough rather than into the crown of the plants, and keep them on the dry side. Pull off spent flowers with their stalks to keep new buds coming. These are not hardy plants. They will take a light frost in a sheltered position, but a hard or prolonged frost will kill them, so treat them as one season of colour. The 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\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Florist's Cyclamen\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 (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 Porches, sheltered patios, doorsteps, window boxes, seasonal displays and gifts\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 through to spring, peaking October to March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple, pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial shade, in a sheltered spot out of cold wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not hardy.
