    Some cyclamen h. corms arrived with a bulb order last week. It would appear to be too late to plant these for this winter, wouldn't you think? When should I plant them??

    Plant them in a pan of compost with some grit for now Tirella I so adore to see these beauties.

    I am tryiing to build up a small woodland area in my garden with these.

    I much prefer these to what the likes of Dobbis etc have cyclamen planted up in nice baskets all look nice but wount last outdoors.

    I want to fill a planter with hardy cyclamen to sit on my doorstep.

    If they are dried up corms (often are) then soak them overnight in tepid water or until they plump up a bit before planting. they can go either in pots or out in the garden. now.
