Cyclamen alpinum

WINTER-FLOWERING. A unique cyclamen that for many years was called C. alpinum. It can be found in Southwest Turkey under conifers, up to an altitude of 1500 m. The species gets its name from the propeller-like arrangement of its petals. The color of the honey-sweet scented flowers ranges from light to deep pink. The leaves vary in color and shape. Give them a dry spot (raised planting bed) and good protection during a harsh winter.

It is not difficult to offer rare cyclamen tubers. Whether or not they are plundered from nature, there is a lively worldwide trade. It's a pity that only a portion of the tubers truly thrive in the garden. We have the solution for you: every species we supply is grown in a pot in the Netherlands and already has leaves, so we dare to guarantee regrowth! When planting out, mix the potting soil from the pots with the surrounding soil, otherwise the tubers may remain too wet.
