Cyclamen graecum album

In appearance very similar to C hederifolium., but grows in a complete diffrent habitat: sun exposed rockeries. Another unique feature of this species is the thick throng-like roots which holds the tuber firmly in to rock crevices

The genus

The horticultural Cyclamen (mini or maxi, white, red, purple, etc) have largely dominated the botanical species. The latter are small, discrete, have quite a different charm and deserve a special place in the garden. These species can be grown in pots, in shaded lawns or wooded areas and produce a multitude of parfumed flowers. The decorative leaves provide an interesting groundcover during the winter. Many species will naturalise and spread discretely throughout the garden.The selection presented will allow flowering from August until the spring. As Cyclamen don't like to be moved, we lift our bulbs just before expedition and it is recommended to replant them straightaway on reception in a welldrained shaded area.
