Cyclamen (Corms) Cilicium
M5268
Description
Cyclamen Cilicium produces beautifully silver-patterned foliage that forms a neat ground-hugging carpet beneath delicate nodding flowers in soft pink and blush shades. Flowering in autumn as the garden begins to fade, the elegant blooms of Cyclamen Cilicium bring gentle colour and refined charm to shady borders, woodland gardens, and sheltered rockeries.
Ideal for naturalistic planting schemes, this graceful cyclamen thrives in well-drained soil with light shade, where its decorative leaves provide long-lasting interest beyond the flowering season. A protective winter mulch is beneficial in colder areas, while shallow planting helps the corms establish successfully year after year.
Care Guide
Plant your Cyclamen in a shaded location, in well-drained, rich soil.
Prefers shallow planting, 5 cm deep, spaced 15 cm apart in the soil. Provide moderate watering, keeping the soil consistently moist. Avoid waterlogging.
Delicate stems of dainty, upswept blooms rise to heights of 10-15 cm from a bed of heart-shaped attractive foliage. Flowering period depends on particular variety.
After planting, leave undisturbed to settle and naturalise. Blooms may not appear until the second season.

Honeymoon
T1472
Glowing against a backdrop of lush green, the ethereal white blooms of fringed tulip ‘Honeymoon’ are a stylish addition to spring beds and borders. Buds appear in mid-spring and stems continue to elongate until the flowers bloom in May, adding architectural elegance to the garden and vase.
The crisp white blooms are feathered and fringed at the edges as though touched by frost, adding an exquisite edge to the stunning flowers. Evergreen plants, euphorbia and ferns contrast well with Fringed Tulip ‘Honeymoon’ helping to highlight its immaculate beauty.

Passionale
T1374
The meaning of Mid Season Tulip ‘Passionale’ is ‘passionate’, and this is certainly a tulip to inspire feelings of ardour. Prized for its lustrous, amethyst petals framed by a band of deeper purple, the neat blooms flare outwards to give a curvaceous contour. As the flowers relax and open in the sunshine, you may glimpse the sulphur yellow anthers peeping out from the centre.
This marvellous, mid-season variety lends its rich opulence to borders, container displays and floral arrangements. In recognition of its superior quality and reliability, tulip ‘Passionale’ has been granted the honour of an RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Leichtlinii Alba
M5202
June flowering, pure white Camassia ‘Leichtlinii Alba’ is a garden treasure, perfect for planting to sparkle in long, grassy areas of garden.
Star-like, glittering ivory florets are clustered along tall, strong stems, lasting for several weeks. Opening upwards from the base of their stems, the Camassia ‘Leichtlinii Alba’ blooms make wonderful, graceful cut flowers.
The bulbs of Camassias are most happy in humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil in sun or part shade and are ideal for naturalising in generous drifts through the garden. Early-summer Alliums make brilliant bedfellows for Camassias, the contrast between colour and shape work well in both modern and traditional planting schemes.
