Cyclamen hederifolium (Ivy-Leaved Cyclamen) - Two Plants

One each of our pink and white Ivy-Leaved Cyclamen. Two potted plants.

Cyclamen hederifolium is often the first sign of Autumn when its charming pink flowers push their way above ground in late August and continues to flower all winter and through spring.

Hederifolium is the easiest species to grow as it will withstand extreme cold and frozen conditions in winter and high temperatures and drought in summer, when it is protected by its dormancy.

Cylamen prefer light shade and are perfect for planting under deciduous shrubs and trees, in the ground or in a container.

Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

After flower and seed production, the leaves die back to the tuber, along with most of the roots. This means that you may buy the plant in its dormant state (i.e. in summer).

John Gerard, in his 'Gerard's Herball' (1597), writes "It is reported unto mee by men of good credit, that Cyclamen or Sow-bread groweth upon the mountaines of Wales; on the hils of Lincolnshire, and in Somerset shire. Being beaten and made up into trochisches, or little flat cakes, it is reported to be a good amorous medicine to make one in love, if it be inwardly taken." We do not recommend this!

Height and spread: 10cm x 30m

Common name(s): Ivy-leaved Cyclamen; Sow-bread.

Caught Our Eye This Week - Each week we feature a number of plants that have caught our eye. They feature in this category for no other reason than we notice them around the nursery and think they deserve to be planted more widely as they are so special or interesting. Click here for the full list of featured plants.
All our plants are supplied in 9cm pots unless otherwise specified. Plants in this size pot establish quickly in the garden and often outpace plants in bigger pots planted at the same time. Our potted plants can be planted immediately, unless otherwise noted, or you can leave them in their pots until you are ready to plant.
The majority of our plants are grown outdoors. This means that they follow their natural growth patterns and are ready to plant at any time of the year. If you order the plants in winter, they are likely to be dormant and died back to ground level, ready to shoot again in spring - just like the herbaceous perennials in your own garden. Very occasionally, in winter and early spring, we may indicate on the packing slip that a plant needs to be hardened off before planting out. This will be because it has just come out of a polytunnel. If you have any questions about our plants or growing methods, please feel free to drop us an email.
We grow most of what we sell ourselves, in our nursery in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Our prices include VAT at 20%.
Please note: We do our best to provide acurate photographs of the plants we sell, but colours display differently on different screens and printers and in different light and we cannot guarantee that what you are seeing on your screen, or on the plant label provided, will exactly match the plant when it flowers in your garden. Plant dimensions are given as a guide only and the actual sizes reached may vary from garden to garden, depending on local conditions.
