About this product

Plant Highlights: Long-lasting autumn and winter colour • Compact habit for pots and planters • Heart-shaped marbled foliage • Ideal for cool indoor spaces or sheltered outdoor displays • Brightens gardens and homes when little else is in flower
Overview
Mini Cyclamen are compact flowering plants grown for their cheerful blooms and attractively patterned foliage during the cooler months of the year. Available in a range of flower colours, they produce masses of upward-facing blooms above neat mounds of silver-marked, heart-shaped leaves. Their compact size makes them an excellent choice for patio pots, window boxes, doorstep planters or bright, cool rooms indoors.
As this product is sold as a colour mix, flower colour will vary and cannot be guaranteed.

Growing Guide
Keep compost lightly moist but never waterlogged, allowing the surface to dry slightly before watering again. Water around the edge of the pot or from below to avoid wetting the crown, which can lead to rot. Place indoors in a bright, cool room away from direct heat, or outdoors in a sheltered position during mild weather. Florist's cyclamen perform best in cool conditions and flower for longer when kept away from radiators and sunny windowsills.
Remove faded flowers by gently twisting and pulling the entire stem from the base to keep plants tidy and encourage further blooms.
Why We Love It
Mini Cyclamen provide reliable colour through autumn and winter when many other plants are dormant. Their neat size makes them easy to use in mixed seasonal containers, table displays and entrance planters, while the attractive foliage remains decorative even between flushes of flowers.
