Cyclamen coum ‘Album’

Flowers: December-March.  Plant in part or full shade.  HxS 10x15cm

The full name is a mouthful! Cyclamen coum subsp.coum f. pallidum ‘Album’  This is the lovely white flowered form of Cyclamen coum, the winter and spring flowering cyclamen. The rounded leaves identify it as different to the ivy leaved cyclamen, Cyclamen hederifolium. Plant both species for year round interest. Summer dormant, the flowers and leaves appear in November and flower throughout the winter.  The photo is taken in January. Organically grown in peat free compost. Pot size 1 litre /1.5 litre.

Care & Maintenance

Very little needed. The tubers will grow bigger every year. Plant 4cm/1.5in below the surface. Collect seed before the mice and voles do!
