Yes! You can plant Cyclamen in your flower beds for cool season color. Cyclamen is also a fantastic houseplant. Check out our Cyclamen care tips!
As a general guideline, you can check your winter annuals and water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Use a finger or a moisture meter to check the soil’s moisture level. When you water, make sure to water deeply to encourage the roots to grow deeper into the soil. Shallow watering can lead to shallow root development.
Not all winter annuals require the same level of protection. Hardy varieties may tolerate freezing temperatures without significant damage, while more tender plants may need extra care. You can always ask one of our Texas Certified Nursery Professionals for recommendations on a specific plant! We recommend that you put a thick layer of mulch at the base of your plants, and keep an N-Sulate Frost Protection Blanket on hand for when you need it!
