Cyclamen coum f. coum Pewter Group

RHS AGM

Potsize – 9cm

Cyclamen coum is the other cyclamen commonly grown out of doors in Britain. It is a little fussier than Cyclamen hederifolium but essentially requires quick drainage, good winter light with a little shade in the hottest part of the day come Spring and shelter from cold drying winds. It is very hardy but dislikes freezing or wet winds. The leaves of this strain are almost completely covered in a silver / pewter overlay. Flowers are a good strong mid pink which liven up the Winter garden, appearing as they do from Christmas onwards, being remarkably cold tolerant. Excellent for naturalising in sunny banks at the foot of trees, even conifers providing the branches don’t come too close to the ground. They only require good drainage, some shelter and a little shade in late Spring which can be provided by deciduous shrubs and tress or even herbaceous plants or bulbs.

Discount of 25p for 3-9 plants, 30p for 10 or more
