Aren't Cyclamens more woodland plants? Would they grow in a container, or would it get too exposed for them? Just wondering, as I've never grown them. |

I've planted them in Containers before and never had any problems...I just kept them well watered and fed and weed free and nature did the rest...maybe I was lucky and being the Mule Head that I am I dont always conform to rules...I like to do what I think looks nice and if it does not work try something else...
I'm not saying what I'm doing is right but they worked for me...all of the Cyclamen I named are hardy and can survive Temperatures of up to -20* degrees according to several expert Gardening Sites... |
