Rock Garden Plants A to Z:
BACK
Cyclamen- (cyclamen)
Cyclamen coum |
Cyclamen is generally thought of as a pot plant- large, long-stemmed
flowers with swept-back petals. If this flower form appeals to you, there
are hardy dwarfs with 1 in. flowers to grow outdoors. The foliage is often
marbled with silver and the blooms are sometimes fragrant. Buy growing plants
rather then dried corms.
VARIETIES:
There are winter, spring, summer and autumn flowering Cyclamens - the four
varieties described below will provide blooms almost year round.
C.
hederifolium
(C.
neapolitanum) is the easiest and most popular- the Ivy-shaped marbled leaves
appear after the first flowers have opened. The flowering time is September
to November- for flowers to follow in January to March grow
C. coum
(round leaves, flowers white, pink or red). Plant
C.
repandum (purple twisted petals) for blooms in April and May.
C.
purpurascens provides the July to September
blooms.
SITE
& SOIL:
Thrives best in poor, sandy soil in full sun.
PROPAGATION:
