INDIVIDUAL CORMS                       

Our most popular varieties are both totally hardy in the British Isles and provide valuable colour in the garden when most other plants are losing theirs or are dormant : -


Hederifolium[AGM] *

This is the one to start with if you have not grown Cyclamen before - it is very hardy, growing the most vigorously of all of the varieties, happy in almost any conditions in most well-drained locations, self-seeding  freely and is ideal for the the garden naturalising into drifts readily. It has been a popular garden plant in the UK since the sixteenth century. The pink or white flowers (approx. 6 inches high) come in late summer giving colour until autumn. The variegated ivy-shaped grey-green marbled leaves then follow providing ground cover through the winter until late spring. 

Prices for individual corms are set out below - but please also see our Special Offers on corm collections giving great extra value for money on 'bulk' purchases.

Pink £2-50 each

Album (white) £3-00 each



Coum[AGM] *

This wonderful cyclamen brightens the depths of winter with dumpy white, pink or magenta flowers from late December to March. The rounded leaves come in a range of colours from plain dark green to striking silver-green patterning and almost pure silver leaf.  Like Hederifolium, Coum naturalises very well and gives a marvelous display, especially with snowdrops. See our Special Offers which are designed to enable you to establish a bed of Cyclamen quickly for greater impact.                                                                   

Mixed Flower Colours  £2-50 each

Album (white) £3-00 each

Silver leaf/pewter £4-50 each

Slightly Tender Varieties of Cyclamen


Africanum  £3.00

Similar to Hederifolium but larger and less hardy.  Pink flowers in the autumn and may have a faint scent


Balearicum  £3.50

White flowers in early spring after the attractive leaves.  Prefers  shade and needs protection from severe weather.   


Creticum

White flowers in May, faintly scented.  Requires shade and protection from hard frost.  Out of stock                                 


Cyprium

White scented flowers in late autumn, sometimes with unusually patterned leaves.  Probably best in a shaded corner of a greenhouse or under the staging. 


Graecum  £3.00

Pink or white flowers in late summer.  Variable leaves but always a striking display.  Will stand several degrees of frost in the greenhouse.  Requires little shade and should be almost completely dried out for a few weeks after the leaves die down.     


Pseudibericum[AGM] *

Magnificent scented white, pink or magenta  flowers very welcome in late winter.  Fairly hardy, requiring shade and protection from wind. Best in a greenhouse.


Parviflorum

Very small plant with pale pink flowers late winter.  Requires a cool, damp, shaded location, probably under the greenhouse staging although it is hardy.                                                                         Out of stock.


Persicum  £3.00

From this was developed the familiar pot plant.  However the species, with flowers white, pink through to purple in late spring are usually highly scented.  It will withstand several degrees of frost in the greenhouse, but must be kept dry.


Trochopteranthum

Pink or magenta flowers shaped like miniature propellers.  Hardy given a protected spot.


Rohlfsianum

Pink flowers in autumn.  Both flowers and leaves are totally different to the other species, as are its needs.  Full sun and a heated greenhouse are required.                                                                        .


Somalense

Discovered in 1986 in N.Somalia, the only captive sample being guarded at a botanical garden in Sweden.  We may see it one day!!


[AGM] *

Several of the species have been granted the Royal Horticultural Society's

Award of Garden Merit [AGM] which means that they are considered to be of "outstanding excellence" for ornamental garden use - it is intended to help

gardeners chose plants of "all-round garden value"  and

we agree that Hardy Cyclamen are definitely that!
