Give it a bright spot out of hot sun and away from cold, drying wind, and keep the compost just moist rather than wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLittle upkeep is needed beyond deadheading the pansies and cyclamen to keep flowers coming, and moving the display somewhere more sheltered if a hard frost is forecast, as the cyclamen will not survive a prolonged freeze. Cyclamen tubers are not to be eaten, and ivy is harmful if eaten, with a sap that can irritate the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn Pastel Container Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed planting of upright flowering cyclamen and pansies with trailing ivy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patios, doorsteps and porches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn into spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink and white\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 as a whole; the cyclamen is tender to hard frost, so the display gives one season of colour rather than returning each year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low; deadhead spent flowers and bring under cover in a hard frost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn, winter and early spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67617982480604,"sku":"COL-ADD-MIL-CHU-AUT-PASX1","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/5_36afe2df-2a4c-4956-a98e-459a25f54d0c.png?v=1790897884","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-add-mil-chu-aut-pasx1","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
