M5262
Description
With delicate, white flowers fluttering like a flurry of snowflakes, Cyclamen ‘Coum Alba’ is a superb early-season variety, blooming for weeks on end. 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. Hardy and easy-going, the RHS have bestowed this variety with their prestigious Award of Garden Merit. Cyclamen ‘Coum Alba’ provides a glimmer of floral joy during the darker months of the year.
Care Guide
Plant your Cyclamen in a shaded location, in well-drained, rich soil.
Prefers shallow planting, 5cm deep, spaced 15cm apart in the soil. Provide moderate watering, keeping the soil consistently moist. Avoid waterlogging.
Delicate stems of dainty, upswept blooms rise to heights of 10-15cm 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.
