I see 2nd gen CSE seed on the seed list, but don't know whether to order it. What I can expect from it, and is it preferable to ordering the non-CSE seed? ...
Hi, generally I would say it's worth a go. The CSE seed is likely to come from plants that are found to be a bit different in the wild. The 2nd gen will be...
Dear Robin, Thanks for the reply. Pardon the delay in replying but it has been really very busy for a while. I think it is a great idea to circumvent all...
Mr. Wong, I have silver C. purpurascens, so might find something along the lines you want. I haven't even written the catalog yet as I have sold my property...

Dear Diane, It looks like a mosaic virus. I could also be a leaf miner. If you send some leaves to us here at Wisley we could look under the microscope. Kind...

Dear Diane, I asked Andrew Halstead (one of our resident scientists- his speciality is entomology) for his opinion. Here is his reply, "I don't think this is a...
Thanks again Trevor, and to Andrew. I have found creatures, old cases and possibly eggs on the underside but not sure whether thrips or mites. I have posted...
I have a patch of C. hederifolium amomgst which Primula vulgaris has seeded heavily. Although you would think primroses would want wetter conditions than the...
Diane, This is my first post to the site, at last something I may be able to help with, or at least reassure you that it is not terminal. My purpurascens...
All my various cyclamen are in the garden, mixed in with all sorts of shade-loving plants, including primroses, with no apparent detriment to them or their...

Trevor, thanks a lot for helping with this and can you pass on my thanks to Andrew. I have already taken all the infected C purpurascens and C colchicum out...
Those of you within easy travelling distance should come and see the plantings of Cyclamen hederifolium now in full flower. They will have gone over by the...
Trevor: Now that you have made all of us who can't see the display envious to no end can anyone take some photos and post them here. Arnold New Jersey...

For a few successive years now I 've raised an interesting batch of plants from the BSBE 518 Form 2 group from the CS seed exchange (none of which has yet...
Barbara, Yes I've had a similar experience. From Form 2 seed sown 2 years ago, about 90% of plants turned out to be vigorous C. hederifolium - most with ...
Barbara Knox Shaw writes of her interesting BSBE 518 plants. I would like to see a picture. Talking of which I have taken many images of Wisley and my own...
