Cyclamen mirable
SILVER LEAVED CYCLAMEN
- Unit price
- / per
Silver leaved Cyclamen mirabile has leaves with a dark green Christmas tree-shaped center surrounded by a broad band of silver. The silver band is deep pink in young leaves. The leaves, appearing with the flowers or after they have emerged, are broad heart-shaped, and as wide or wider than long. The pink flowers are fragrant with a coconut scent. The tuber is round-flattened and roots irregularly from the lower surface.
In cultivation this plant has proved reasonably hardy, tolerating temperatures as low as -10 C (14 F) when planted in a suitable setting. It grows best in well-drained soil that dries out in the dormant period (summer). As it dislikes cool wet summers, it may fare better in a pot in an unheated greenhouse. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society-s Award of Garden Merit.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 6-9
Location: Shade
Height: 10cm, 4"
Seeds per packet: 3
Soak the seeds for 12-24 hours before planting. Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Place them in a cool and dark room or closet, as they require darkness to germinate. Temp (16-18C, 61-64F). Germination can begin in 6 weeks, and some seeds can take up to a year. Check regularly for germination and bring to light once signs of growth are visible.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and or plants are poisonous.
