Cyclamen and Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold' (Hakonechloa macra (Hakonechloa))

Wanted to grow this grass but never had a good spot, now after clearing some dead trees I have! :-)
Trouble is newly cleared area weed seedlings keep popping up so its hoe hoe hoe :-)

Like the dark pink colour of some of the Cyclamen, do you think they will be hardy?

Thanks Siris, no don't think they'll be hardy just bought them for a bit of colour till the hederifolia seedlings get going, only 99p each :-)

They are pretty, such a shame they probably won't survive.

Ours survive, but they are protected by a wall, tucked away in a corner....
I love the grass, have just sent for a new variety, it does so well here, never grew for us in the Midlands, I am trying for the national collection lol

A very pretty patch , I believe some of the Cyclamen will survive I bought some C. Snowridge wine last year from S.homebase to brighten the winter tubs I didn't expect them to survive as they were far to pretty I removed them at the end of the season potted them up and forgot about them until this season when I was surprised to see they had all survived and were sprouting buds I'm using them again this year ,I must take a photo ...

Thanks Wildrose :-)
Oh I hope so Amy they are lovely, covered in buds at the moment, I'll look out for your picture :-)
I bought another one Dd 'Aureola' with striped leaves, there was a plain green too but I resisted lol, I'm in the Midlands hope they survive!
