What time of the year do you plant cyclamen corms out side how deep and how far apart?

I bought cyclamen corms/bulbs this past fall..planted them in late september....planted 6 bulbs in light shade area...and I planted them among other shade plants (hosta). If is is hardy cyclamen and your up north..Id out my bulbs in the freezer until March(and plant them then)...hardy cyclamen requires 8 weeks or so of a freeze...if your down south...I cant help you...good luck

What time of the year do you plant cyclamen corms out side how deep and how far apart?
late autumn - early spring .


60 75 mm deep the position apart is up to yourself ( after all they will multiply ) but I'd suggest 100 - 200 mm . good luck .
Reply:Assuming you ahve bought the sort that are suitable for outside in the UK, then that information should be on the container you bought them in. They don't need to be very deep, but about 1ft apart would be good as they do get a lot bigger, I wouldn't plant them out until the spring.
