Overview
Flowering size tubers are quite small and should be planted 9cm deep (3½ ins) out-of-doors, or half-way down a suitable sized pot if grown in the alpine house.
A lovely pure white form which grows well with us. Not believed to be as hardy as the species Cyclamen repandum. White flowers emerge in April – May. For best results grow in the alpine house keeping plants shaded during March and April.
Alpine House cultivation: All cyclamen are suitable for alpine house cultivation, especially the more tender species. The alpine house should receive maximum light, but will require shading in summer. Good air circulation is crucial and extra vents are a must. We advise growing this cyclamen in clay pans using a suitable compost. This may be made up by mixing two parts (by bulk) of John Innes compost No2, one part of Perlite and one part of shredded leaf mould. Top dress all tubers with a layer of grit. Give just enough heat to exclude frost in very cold weather. Otherwise, plunging your pots in sand or covering with horticultural fleece during very cold spells will give an amazing amount of extra protection. Flowering size tubers are quite small and should be planted half-way down a suitable sized pot when grown in the alpine house.
