Cyclamen coum ‘Rubrum’ (sowbread) was £9.99 now £7.99
Position: partial shade Soil: moderately-fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: January to March Hardiness: fully hardy The deep magenta-red flowers makes this sowbread really stand out from the crowd. It can be planted on its own (ideally in a cluster), or incorporated into an already established clump of cyclamens where it will add depth of colour. The flowers are small, but exquisite. They are held on top of fleshy, slender stems that sit above the marbled, rounded to heart-shaped leaves in winter to early spring. Use it for under-planting trees, adding early colour to an alpine bed or patio pots. Garden care: Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted leaf mould around the crown of the plants in spring as the foliage starts to die back.
Cyclamen coum ‘Album’ (sowbread) was £9.99 now £7.99
Position: partial shade Soil: moderately-fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period:January to March Hardiness: fully hardy Sublime, early-flowering groundcover, that will liven up the area beneath established trees, or extend the period of interest in an alpine bed or rock garden. The fresh green foliage emerges at around the same time as the flowers in winter and early spring. The flowers are exquisite, being held on slender stems above the foliage, and with windswept white petals with just a brush of claret at their base. If the budget allows, plant them in bold drifts, or keep them in a pot where they can be admired up close. Garden care: Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted leaf mould around the crown of the plants in spring as the foliage starts to die back.
