Cyclamen graecum x

Cyclamen graecum is native to Greece where is grows in rocky , sunny places. They have varied leaf patterns and the flowers are pale to dark pink. They are autumn flowering with the flowers appearing just before the leaves. 

Not very hardy, they don’t like wet, cold winters and are often grown in pots in a cold greenhouse but they will do well in the graden in a sunny spot in milder climates. The tuber should be planted at the surface of the pot and covered with grit.

Please note that as they are from open-pollinated seed there may be some variation in flower and leaf colour.
