The plants are already growing together in the churn and arrive in it, so there is nothing to plant up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStand it on a patio, doorstep or by the front door in a bright, sheltered spot in light shade, out of cold wind. It is a seasonal display and gives one season of colour from autumn into spring. It is only as hardy as its least hardy plant, and the cyclamen will take a light frost in a sheltered spot but not a hard or prolonged one. When the display is over, the ivy can be planted out in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake care with the plants: cyclamen tubers should not be eaten, and ivy is harmful if eaten and its sap can irritate skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Christmas scene milk churn with cyclamen, Gaultheria and ivy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cyclamen persicum, Gaultheria and Hedera helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact seasonal display with trailing ivy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter colour on a patio or doorstep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red (cyclamen)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, sheltered spot in light shade, out of cold wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not hardy as a whole.
