CYCLAMEN 
Hardy Cyclamen in general are far better planted as growing plants than as dormant bulbs. Due to the fragility of their leaf stalks we prefer to despatch late in their growing season when they are naturally dying back. All tubers are dug daily for immediate despatch. All Cyclamen require a humus-rich soil that is well drained. They are summer dormant – an annual top dressing of bone meal and leaf mould or composted bark is beneficial. They should be planted with the tops of the tubers one inch below the soil surface.
