Sample text
Purpurascens can be added to the collection. BUYING PLANTS Many people are seduced by the packets of tubers sold with brightly coloured wrappings in garden centres and department stores. These tubers are dried and often look as though they have been through a potato scrubber, without a vestige of root or shoot remaining. Unfortunately, many of the larger dried tubers sold have been stripped from the wild. Furthermore, they are often misnamed so that the contents are not the same as the plant depicted; for instance plants labelled C.
Group One: Frost-hardy Species (will withstand temperatures as low as −20°C (−4°F), even prolonged freezing). C. cilicium, C. coum (subsp. coum and caucasicum), C. hederifolium, C. parviflorum, C. pseudibericum (in some gardens only), C. purpurascens. C. hederifolium has been known to have survived prolonged freezing at temperatures as low as −30°C (−22°F). Group Two: Frost-tolerant Species (not as hardy as Group One but will withstand temperatures as low as −14°C (7°F) but not prolonged freezing below this point).
Parviflorum can perhaps be described as the only truly alpine species in the genus, growing in the extreme conditions at altitude in the eastern Pontus Mountains of northern Turkey where the summers are cool and moist and the winters extremely cold with deep snow lying for many months. It is not surprising therefore that this charming little species can often still be found in flower well into summer where snow lingers late on the mountain slopes and meadows. In more temperate climates cyclamen have to contend not only with rather wetter and often cooler summers but often colder winters, sometimes with severe frosts or even prolonged periods below freezing, which is rarely accompanied by an insulating blanket of snow.
