Broadleigh
Gardens offer one of the largest ranges of the delicate species Cyclamen for outdoors or cold
glass. These relatives of the well known indoor Christmas plants are
much more graceful and make long lived plants often seeding to form large
patches.
We sell cyclamen in the spring in growth or C
coum & hederifolium are available in August.
Species Cyclamen require a humus-rich soil that is well drained. They are summer dormant
— an annual top dressing of bone meal and leaf mould or composted bark
is beneficial. They are perfect for those difficult places under deciduous
trees & shrubs where their delicate flowers lighten the dull autumn
& winter days. Due to the
fragility of their leaf stalks
we prefer to despatch late in their growing season when they are naturally
dying back. All tubers are dug daily for immediate despatch. They appreciate a little peat
on planting to aid rooting. All varieties have distinctive leaves which
are very variable and give great interest in the garden,
both before and after the flowers appear. Except for Cyclamen repandum
(see description) they should be planted with
the tops of the tubers one inch below the soil surface. They prefer to be
planted as under:
Cold Glass — africanum,
balearicum, creticum, cyprium, graecum, intaminatum, libanoticum, mirabile,
persicum,
pseudibericum and rohlfsianum.
Shade
— hederifolium, coum, repandum.
Semi-shade

intaminatum.
