Cyclamen coum (2 bulbs)

A recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit, Cyclamen coum will bloom throughout winter and spring with delightful heart-shaped leaves and small delicate flowers of white through to purple with every hue in-between.

An excellent source of early colour, this variety is durable and reliable with excellent disease and pest resistance, as recognised by the RHS.

Growing to a compact height of around 10cm these flowers are best planted en masse in front of shrubs, around trees, mixed borders and in rock gardens. They are also great in woodlands or containers and will naturalise faster than any other hardy cyclamen. Cyclamen coum flowers pair particularly well with snowdrops for a fantastic early display.

Plant these bulbs roughly 3cm deep and 15cm apart from each other to allow space for them to flower. They are easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil in part shade and are low maintenance so will not need weeding or deadheading.
