Not sure what sort of Cyclamen you want?

At this time of year you will find the bedding varieties in the shop. These can cope with light frosts and can be grown indoors as well as outdoors, and usually only last for one winter. They are very showy and bring some zing with their dense heads of flowers and neat habits.

Further into the season you can get the woodland varieties, including ‘hederifolium’ and ‘coum’. These are much more subtle than the bedding varieties, with sparser and more delicate leaves and flowers. They are, however, much tougher and should come back year after year.
