Cyclamen 2021

[Jeffnz]

No weed growth on bare ground?

[Guff]

There are a few weeds that need to be pulled, hardly any grow in that spot.  Hundreds of Purpurascens seedling are though....

Purpurascens Alba

[Jeffnz]

Very impressive sight...

Different forms of Cyclamen purpurascens

Guff, how lovely white Cyclamen.

Herman, very nice foliage and flowers.
Two years ago I got several corms of C.purpurascens and planted them in different kinds of places to find out where they would grow best.
The best place seems to be dryish shade under apple tree close to Hepatica japonicas.

Leena thanks.

Purpurascens Alba
I have three plants. This has been the first year I have had seeds to collect and it's maybe around 30 seeds. Will be starting them next week and grown under lights. Hoping next summer for more seeds so I can make a mixed bed like my hederifolium.

Cyclamen colchicum

[Guff]

Purpurascens is still flowering strong, and the fragrance in the air is amazing.......

Been keeping my eye on this solid green leaf Purpurascens seedling, flower opened today.

[Herman Mylemans]

Cyclamen hederifolium is spreading around.

[Herman Mylemans]

Cyclamen cilicium also starts to flower.

Some different colors from Cyclamen hederifolium going from white till dark red.

[Guff]

Herman very nice.

Years ago, I had gotten dark purple seeds from Jan. Not sure if I lost my very dark purple plant or not, but this one is nice as well. Next to a normal pink.

Guff, my dark red purple form is from Jan.

Cyclamen are so nice in the autumn, they grow very well for you Herman. I have tried once C.hederifolium and it died the second winter. Now I bought one plant and try once more, but I'm not very confident about it's hardiness.
C.purpurascens is so good here and flowers for a long time, though now it is over.
