It is a cheerful, characterful gift, or a bright addition to a seasonal display on a doorstep or patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two Cyclamen persicum plants are growing together in the welly and arrive in it, so there is no potting or preparation to do. The deep purple to violet-pink flowers have swept-back petals and sit above heart-shaped, dark green leaves with silver marbling, giving long-lasting colour from autumn through to spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStand it in a sheltered, partly shaded spot out of cold wind, such as a porch, a doorstep or a patio table. These cyclamen are not hardy. They will take a light frost in a sheltered spot, but a hard or prolonged frost will kill them, so treat them as one season of autumn and winter colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater around the edge of the pot rather than into the crown, and keep the compost just moist, as overwatering is the most common cause of decline. Pull off spent flowers with their stalks and remove yellowing leaves to keep the blooms coming. The tubers should not be eaten. As these are natural plants, flower size, colour depth and leaf marbling vary slightly from plant to plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Florist's Cyclamen, Persian 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 low-growing, with upswept flowers above marbled foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doorsteps, porches, patios, seasonal displays, gift giving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heart-shaped, dark green leaves with silver marbling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn through to spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep purple to violet-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.
