Story: Garden Express: Cyclamen Illusia
Episode: 13
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane
Air Date: 7 June 2025

Trevor introduces us to Cyclamen Illusia, a plant thatthrives in cool conditions and originates from a Mediterranean climate, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor winter colour.

• Flowering peaks during the coldest months, triggered by shorter daylight hours. Top tip: place your plant outdoors at night to encourage more blooms.
• The new Cyclamen ‘Illusia’, showcased at the Australian Horticultural Trials, features upright-facing flowers—a stunning contrast to the traditional downward blooms. This innovation helped it win Houseplant of the Year 2024 at the RHS National Plant Show.
• Usually over $20 in retail, Illusia is now available to Garden Gurus viewers for just $5.90 (normally $8.90)—a 33% saving. Delivered direct to your door via Garden Express, your one-stop online garden shop!
