Cyclamen Super Series 'Leopardo Purple'
Cyclamen Super Series 'Leopardo Purple' is a large-flowered cyclamen producing rich purple blooms on strong, upright stems above dark green foliage. Its swept-back petals and rounded plant shape create an attractive display for seasonal indoor arrangements.
Ideal for windowsills and tabletops in cool, bright rooms, its purple flowers combine beautifully with white cyclamen and other seasonal plants. The Leopardo series has been selected for improved heat tolerance and continued bud production, although a cool position away from radiators will help prolong flowering at home.

Cyclamen Care
Light: Provide bright, indirect light, avoiding strong direct sunshine.
Water: Water when the compost surface starts to dry. Stand the pot briefly in shallow water, then allow it to drain thoroughly. Avoid wetting the crown and never leave the pot standing in water.
Humidity: Moderate humidity and gentle ventilation are suitable. Avoid misting the flowers and foliage.
Temperature: Cool conditions around 10–16°C help prolong flowering. Keep away from radiators, hot rooms and frost.
Feeding: Apply a low-nitrogen liquid fertiliser fortnightly during active growth, following the product instructions.
Flower care: Remove faded flowers and yellow leaves by gently twisting and pulling their stems away from the base.
Dormancy: Reduce watering as the leaves yellow after flowering. Keep almost dry during summer dormancy, then gradually resume watering when new growth appears in autumn.
Experience level: Moderate
