San Diegoese Flowering Cherry

Crocus speciosus Autumn crocus

This plant flowers in the fall. Colors vary according to species, pale blue to dark violet with darker stripes or white with orange stripes. It has an orange stigma. This plant prefers a sunny location on well-drained soil. Plant in the summer. An under-demanding garden companion.

Crocus Chrysanthus "Cream Beauty" Snow crocus

C. chrysanthus flowers very early indeed. The variety "Cream Beauty" delights us with its restrained cream-colored flowers with their golden-yellow insides. Its dainty appearance would not lead you to believe that it is an extremely robust, modest, and enduring representative of the species. It spreads slowly but constantly in sunny locations with well-drained, reasonably fertile soils and if allowed will form lavishly flowering clumps. Plant the little bulbs in the fall. Crocuses look their best in dense clumps and, if the colors are skillfully blended, can become a real attraction. "Cream Beauty," for example, would look well in a cushion of purple flowers. It is ideal for rockeries, light shrubbery borders, or in the lawn. Leave the foliage until it yellows. Take care when mowing the lawn. No further care is needed.

Crocus tommasinianus "Ruby Giant" Woodland crocus A strong color, a delicate form: this spring-flowering crocus, dark purple in color, is excellently suited to naturalizing and soon forms magnificent carpets of intense color. Crocus tommasinianus not only is very resistant to wind and rain, but also has a long flowering period. Absolutely easy to care for. Tip: makes an ideal source of food for bees.

Cyclamen hederifolium Hardy cyclamen, ivy-leafed cyclamen, sowbread

C. hederifolium is especially hardy. The different species of cyclamen are distinguished not so much by the flower as by the shape of their leaves. This one, for example, has ivy-like leaves, green throughout the winter, with conspicuous silvery-green markings. The flowers appear either before or together with the young leaves. This fall-flowering cyclamen is tolerant of semi-shady but also sunny locations and is considered frost-hardy. However, in regions with a harsh climate, prepare a winter mulch. Tip: pre-grown potted plants are easier to plant in position than the corms.

Cyclamen coum Persian violet

Hearing the name "cyclamen," you might be reminded of Grandma's potted plants. However, if so, you would be doing the delicate C. coum an injustice. It is a very sturdy and hardy garden plant, and can flower reliably year after year in semi-shady, wind-sheltered sites on humus, well-drained soils. This little spring bloom with its distinctive, long- stemmed flowers in white, pink, or crimson and its kidney-shaped leaves does, however, like to be left undisturbed and in peace. It is easy to care for. Sprinkle humus over it every two years in spring or fall. Mulch in the winter with twigs and pine needles. Plant the corms horizontally in the late summer or fall. Propagate by seeds.

Cypripedium calceolus Yellow lady's slipper A pretty rarity. This winter-hardy orchid species has crimson flowers with a bright yellow lip. It feels most at home in a sheltered spot at the edge of a shrubbery or in a semi- shady rockery. The plant prefers moist, fertile, alkaline soils. Mulch in the winter.
