Cyclamen are charming autumn and winter-flowering perennials that bring colour and elegance to the garden when little else is in bloom. Flowering from September to March, they produce delicate, swept-back petals in shades of pink, white, and magenta, rising gracefully above patterned heart-shaped leaves.
These resilient plants thrive in partial shade and well-drained soil, making them ideal for naturalising beneath trees, brightening woodland gardens, or adding winter interest to pots and window boxes. Once planted, they return year after year, spreading gently and rewarding you with dependable seasonal colour.
Popular varieties include Cyclamen hederifolium, which flowers in autumn, and Cyclamen coum, which blooms in late winter. Together they provide continuous beauty through the colder months. Perfect for pairing with Hellebores, Heathers, and Snowdrops, Cyclamen are a must-have for long-lasting winter charm.
