Cyclamen Coum Cyclamen Coum

Brighten up the winter garden with the charming beauty of Cyclamen coum, a hardy perennial perfect for shaded spots. Flowering from January to March, this winter gem brings life and colour when little else is in bloom. Its dainty, deep pink flowers rise delicately above a low-growing carpet of silvery-green leaves, each uniquely marbled for added interest.

Ideal for partial to full shade, Cyclamen coum thrives in humus-rich, well-drained soil. It’s an excellent choice for naturalising under trees, in woodland gardens, or shady borders, where it pairs beautifully with other shade-loving plants. Despite its delicate appearance, this cyclamen is fully hardy, reliably returning year after year with minimal care.

Add a splash of winter colour with the resilient and elegant Cyclamen coum—a true shade garden essential.

  • Find a location with well-drained, humus-rich soil
  • Cyclamen are shade lovers and grow well in full or partially-shaded areas. 
  • If planting in the garden, plant the bulbs 6-8cm below the soil surface.
  • If planting in Pots, find a container and fill it with good-quality, well-drained soil. Ensure there is adequate draining holes.
  • Plant in the Autumn, September through November.
  • After planting, water the Cyclamen well, gently soaking the soil to settle it around the bulbs.
  • Cyclamen will flower early in the year, January to March.

  • Cyclamen are shade lovers and grow well in full or partially-shaded areas.

Care Instructions

  • After flowering has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulbs for the future.
  • Water as needed during active growth periods.
  • Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted leaf mould around the crown of the plants in spring as the foliage starts to die back
