The Secret isn't Better Flowers. It's Better Timing.

All your flowers are judged by the company around them. A tulip in April has plenty of rivals. A rose in summer has to outcompete others in your border, but a Cyclamen in the depths of winter has the stage to itself. Perhaps this is the reason hardy Cyclamen feel so special. Not because they are larger. Not because they are brighter. Simply because they arrive when vivid flowers have become unexpected.

Some pleasures depend entirely on timing. The first snowdrop. Your first ripe strawberry. The first evening you  sit out on the patio. The warming winter sight of pink and white Cyclamen illuminating your barren January garden.

We at de Jager, have paired three award winning Cyclamen coum with three award winning Cyclamen coum Album. Three deep pink. Three pure white.

Cyclamen coum

Dainty blooms flit above the ground like butterfly wings in varying shades of pink. The dark green foliage is laced with silver veining, offering decorative groundcover for shady spots. These charming Cyclamen Coum are an asset to any garden, ideally suited to planting beneath trees and shrubs, naturalising in grass and planting in patio pots and window boxes. The RHS has granted this variety a much-coveted Recommended Award of Garden Merit for its reliability and disease-resistance.

Cyclamen coum Album

Lightly marbled, dark green foliage shows off the pearly blooms  to perfection, and provides beautiful, ornamental groundcover. These little gems are a delightful complement to snowdrops and hellebores, ideal for underplanting trees and shrubs and filling container displays. The RHS have bestowed this variety with their prestigious Recommended Award of Garden Merit. ‘Coum Alba’ provides a glimmer of floral joy during the darker months of the year.

Together these Cyclamen create a presence  more convincing than either could alone. The white sharpens the pink. The pink warms the white. Six  plants become one considered planting.

The usual price,  for three Cyclamen coum and  three Cyclamen coum Album in 9cm pots including postage, is £50.65.

Your price is £24.50, with free delivery. (Whilst stocks last.)

Each plant arrives in a generous 9cm pot, well-rooted and ready for your garden. Plant beneath trees, beside a path, or where winter draws your eye from the house. By early October your six cyclamens will be on their way to you.

You may never have expected to be looking forward to January… but hardy Cyclamens have been changing gardener’s minds for generations.
