Cyclamen hederifolium ‘Amaze me Pink’

Late-summer to autumn pink flowers followed by attractively marbled foliage

Price is for two plants in one-litre containers

Description

Cyclamen hederifolium ‘Amaze me Pink’ is a really lovely seasonal plant that provides good interest through autumn and winter. The flowers typically appear in late-summer and into early autumn, are pure pink in colour and have the most interesting cross-shaped arrangement of petals. These last into autumn while the foliage then emerges and lasts well into autumn and winter. The dark-green, variegated leaves are ivy-shaped and have a lovely silvery marbled effect. They naturally occur around the base of deciduous trees and look best planted in clusters where they will slowly spread to form colonies that come back year after year.
These established plants have been grown at our nursery in Cornwall, and are supplied in 1 litre containers (the price is for two of these plants). They will flower from late summer into autumn and will grow to an ultimate height of around 15cm (6 inches or so), and will slowly spread to form colonies where happy.

Growing Advice

Cyclamens prefer dryish sites, hence why in nature they appear most prolifically around the base of trees where the roots absorb most of the moisture during the summer months when the plant is dormant. They will take some moisture but are originally Mediterranean plants to take care not to plant them in heavy soils that remain very wet over winter, or the tubers may rot off. Otherwise they do best in partial shade sites and because they are quite diminutive are better given some space for the flowers and lovely foliage to be seen, away from the otherwise lush perennial growth of late summer and early autumn. They also grow well in containers or in rock gardens.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
