One of the easiest Cyclamen to grow, as it is very forgiving if grown in less than ideal conditions. Quick to flower in a range of 9 colours. An intermediate variety, ideal for growing in 4 inch pots. Height: 23-30cm (9-12in).
Sow late winter to spring. Soak the seeds for 3 hours in warm water then sow 6mm (žin) deep in a good seed compost. Seal in a polythene bag and place in the dark until germination which usually takes 3-4 weeks at 15-18C (59-65F). Do not exceed 65F as high temperatures can prevent germination.
Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Pot up as required.
Grow through summer in a shaded, ventilated area and keep at 10C (50F) during autumn/winter. For windowsill plants grow cool with plenty of fresh air and in good light.
