{"product_id":"cyclamen-verona-pink-9cm-pot","title":"Cyclamen Verona Pink 9cm Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eCyclamen persicum 'Verona Pink' is a beautifully soft-toned florist's cyclamen, producing an abundance of delicate pink blooms held gracefully above a rosette of richly marbled, heart-shaped foliage. A perennial favourite for brightening interiors through the cooler months, it delivers weeks of rewarding colour when the garden outside is at its quietest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHabit \u0026amp; Appearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers \u0026amp; foliage.\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Verona Pink' forms a neat, compact mound of dark green, heart-shaped leaves intricately patterned with silver and pewter marbling — handsome enough to admire in their own right. From autumn through to early spring, slender stems carry a continuous succession of swept-back, butterfly-like blooms in a fresh, clear shade of pink, often with a deeper flush or contrasting eye at the centre. The effect is both elegant and cheerful, making it an excellent choice for windowsills, shelves, and seasonal container displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition.\u003c\/strong\u003e Like all \u003cem\u003eCyclamen persicum\u003c\/em\u003e cultivars, 'Verona Pink' performs best in cool, bright, indirect light. Indoors, a well-lit spot away from direct sun and heat sources — particularly radiators, open fires, and draughty windows — will keep it thriving. Temperatures between 10–18°C are ideal; warmer conditions shorten the flowering period. During mild spells it can be placed in a sheltered outdoor position in partial shade, but it is not frost hardy and must be kept well clear of freezing temperatures at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; watering.\u003c\/strong\u003e Grow in a free-draining, peat-free compost, ensuring the pot has good drainage. The corm should sit slightly proud of the compost surface rather than being buried. Water from below by standing the pot in a saucer of water for around 30 minutes, then allowing it to drain completely — this keeps moisture away from the crown and corm, where rot can quickly take hold. Allow the compost surface to dry slightly between waterings, and never allow the pot to sit in standing water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding \u0026amp; maintenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every two to three weeks while the plant is actively growing and in flower. Remove spent blooms and any yellowing leaves promptly by gently twisting and pulling the entire stem cleanly away at the base — avoid cutting, as stumps left behind can rot and spread damage to the corm. Regular deadheading encourages the plant to produce a continuous succession of fresh flowers throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter flowering.\u003c\/strong\u003e As blooming draws to a close in late spring, gradually reduce watering to ease the plant into its natural summer dormancy. Store the corm in its pot somewhere cool and dry over the summer months. In early autumn, repot into fresh compost, resume careful watering, and return the plant to a cool, bright position — it should reward you with a fresh flush of growth and flowers as the season progresses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grasslands Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57600755990854,"sku":"174247","price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/7948\/8326\/files\/Cyclamen-Verona-Red-9cm-Pot_173819_2026-09-11_800x800_d6ad75e0-6191-4409-85d6-8008eb610cd7.jpg?v=1792047998","url":"https:\/\/www.grasslands.co.uk\/products\/cyclamen-verona-pink-9cm-pot","provider":"Grasslands Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
