{"product_id":"col-add-sco-dog-cyc-r","title":"Cyclamen persicum (Florist's Cyclamen) – Red Autumn and Winter Colour in a Scottie Dog (Pre-Planted Scottie Dog)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRed cyclamen make some of the brightest autumn and winter colour you can plant, and this Scottie Dog container arrives ready planted with them, so there is nothing to do but put it where it will be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe florist's cyclamen, Cyclamen persicum, has rounded, patterned leaves and a long run of upswept flowers from autumn into winter. It is grown here as seasonal bedding, so think of it as one season of cheerful colour for a doorstep, patio or porch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cyclamen are growing together in the Scottie Dog and arrive in it. Stand it in partial shade in a sheltered spot out of cold wind. It will take a light frost in a sheltered position, but a hard or prolonged frost will kill it, so move it under cover if a severe cold spell is forecast. Water sparingly at the edge of the plants rather than into the crown, and let the compost dry slightly between waterings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpkeep is easy. Pull off spent flowers with their stalks to keep new buds coming. 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\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, tuberous, mounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doorsteps, patios, porches and winter containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn to winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\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 hardy.
