One of the garden’s deceptive flowers for this week’s cheerful bloom. These may look delicate but they ignore anything the weather throws at them – mainly rain recently.
I grew these from seed given to me by a gardening friend many years ago. Since then, they’ve multiplied and spread and are such a cheerful sight.

You need to find a friend with Cyclamen coum seeds or corms. Once C. hederifolium has finished its wonderful display they take over for the next three months. I usually buy them for display in spring containers and then plant in the garden – double bubble
That’s a good idea. I decided last year that I didn’t have enough C. coum. Looks as though I need to go shopping!
Mine start blooming on Christmas Day and continue for 3 months, making a breathtaking tapestry under a Worcester Pearmain. The best value flowering plant in the garden.
They’re also fairly trouble free – always a bonus.
