Hederifolium

Cyclamen hederifolium has a talent for making difficult gardens beautiful. It blooms in autumn, producing delicate pink purple flowers without any foliage at all, the flowers rising from bare soil in September and October with a neatness and precision that seems almost deliberate. Then the leaves arrive: beautifully marbled in silver and dark green, covering dry, root filled ground beneath trees for the whole of winter and spring, turning the most challenging part of the garden into something genuinely decorative. Long flowering, reliably returning and improving with every year spent in the same spot, it is the bulb for the garden's harder spaces, the ones that usually settle for bare soil or invasive weeds. Dutch grown and selected by BLOM for healthy corms that establish well and naturalise with ease.
