IT is time to start thinking about your spring flowers.
Cyclamen are a good choice as they are hardy and produce flowers from early autumn, through winter and into early spring.
The flowers are often scented in colours ranging from white and pink to carmine and purple and are set off by patterned foliage.
Many varieties are at their best in early spring, including cyclamen coum which produces carmine flowers stained darkly at the mouth. Cyclamen coum also has varieties with attractive silver patterning on the foliage.
Nymans (cyclamen coum type) have purple flowers and largely silver leaves while tile barn Elizabeth (cyclamen coum example) produces small leaves and bicoloured pink flowers.
