Product description
The flowers of Cyclamen Victoria feature soft, pale petals with a contrasting-coloured margin, creating a distinctive two-tone appearance above heart-shaped leaves with silver-patterned foliage. This compact Sowbread variety is supplied as a mixed-colour 6 pack, making it a versatile choice for borders, containers, window boxes, and patio areas, where the combination of flowers and decorative leaves creates an eye-catching display.
Cyclamen Victoria enjoys a sheltered spot with sun or partial shade and free-draining compost. Water carefully around the base of the plant, avoiding the crown and foliage, and allow excess moisture to drain away to help prevent problems caused by damp conditions. As Cyclamen is not fully hardy, some protection from severe winter weather can help maintain the flowers for longer.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
For a longer-lasting display, remove faded flowers and yellowing leaves by gently twisting and pulling them away from the base of the plant. This helps keep the Cyclamen tidy, prevents old growth from collecting around the crown, and allows the plant to put more energy into producing new blooms.
How to Water
Keep Cyclamen evenly moist after planting to help the roots establish, especially during dry periods. Allow the compost or soil to dry slightly between applications and avoid excess moisture around the crown and foliage, as Sowbread prefers good drainage. Apply water at the base of the plant rather than over the leaves and flowers to help keep it healthy.
How to Plant
Plant Cyclamen in a sheltered position with partial shade and free-draining compost. Space the plants so they have room to develop, gently firm the soil around the roots after planting, and water thoroughly to help them settle in.
