Cyclamen - JJB - 06-01-2023
In the autumn I bought some reduced in flower dwarf cyclamen from Tesco. They were pretty little things and thrived after planting in our mild autumn. Then the -7° hit u and now they look totally wiped out and frosted, flowers leaves and all. What are the chances of them recovering?

Cyclamen seem to be quite hardy things - its wait and see time.
RE: Cyclamen - JJB - 06-01-2023
Good I was hoping someone more knowledgeable would suggest that.

Maybe somebody knowledgeable will be along soon..........Wait and see.

Cyclamen hederifolium and cyclamen coum are the hardy autumn and winter ones you see growing in clumps in gardens and are typically sold in individual pots. I have them in my garden and they were hard to find.
The ones sold in packs as bedding in autumn aren't as hardy and can be killed by a hard frost. Unfortunately, I reckon they're goners.

They certainly look goners, but there's no harm to leaving them to see. I'm not likely to be going out and digging them up to check in this weather.

I think they will be goners too.... Ive lost so many plants this year, first lackmof water, intense heat then a ton of rain and then a freeze.... two pittosporum, one 6 foot tall, have shed their leaves over the past couple of weeks. They are goners I think
I lost a couple of fruit trees in the summer and some roses. I wont replace anything until Spring but its been a tough year for lots of plants.
