Description
Seed sown 3 years ago has grown extremely well and we now need to thin the corms in these beds to allow other corms to grow to larger without restriction.
We are therefore also now offering these corms – that are smaller than in our ‘Younger corm collection’.
The photographs show our seed bed and also a selection of corms as examples of those that will be sent out as part of this collection.
As with our ‘younger cyclamen corm’ collection, these smaller Cyclamen Hederifolium offer an economic way to establish a ‘drift of cyclamen’ in your garden – covering a wider area more quickly and cheaply – you will just need to wait a year or 2 longer.
Some of these small Cyclamen Hederifolium will have flowered at the Nursery – despite their size/age – as can be seen in the photographs by the flower stalks curling around ready for forming seed pods and many should flower in the autumn next year.
The display of flowers will rapidly improve over the years as the corms increase in size and also self sow seeds around.
After a few years the corms will need to be at least 1 ft apart if grown as a block – until then they may be planted closer if you wish and when they need to be more widely separated it will be easiest to transplant them in early summer, when dormant, to a more suitable spacing.
These corms will mostly be of the pink flowered form but the collection may include a few corms with white flowers.
The corms are lifted from our nursery beds and are sent out bare-rooted all year round.
Please note we sell living corms (plants) not dried corms.
Depending on the time of year they are sent out they may have leaves, flowers, seed pods – or nothing visibly growing if it is the dormant period.
They need planting as soon as they are received.
