Cyclamen Illusia mixes together some of the quirkiest traits from older varieties—the old-school “bearded” petal markings, the unusual petal shapes, and a bit of fun garden drama—but with a neat, compact habit and flowers that actually look upward. Its upside-down, double-petalled blooms and super-dense flowering make it a real talking point for anyone who loves something a bit different. Breaking all the usual cyclamen rules, Illusia shows off masses of frilly pink flowers that seem to look straight back at you. Each bloom has an open face and a bold bearded centre, giving this variety a playful, almost interactive feel in the garden. For best results fertilise regularly using a liquid fertiliser once plants begin to show flower buds.
