Tyra's Garden is a small garden on the island of Resarö situated in the inner part of the archipelago near the small town Vaxholm, outside Stockholm. Tyra's Garden is mostly an ornamental vegetable garden, my potager. But flowers are of course an important ingredience, for beauty and pollination. The climate in these parts is quite demanding as the northerly winds can be strong and cold. THIS BLOG 'Tyra's Garden' is not entirely a gardenblog it contains much more. About me: Enthusiastic amateur gardener and photographer from Vaxholm, Sweden. Designed and built my Greenhouse and Potager in Tyra's Garden 2003. Love the outdoor life, gardening and sailing especially. View my profile

Who is the Man - He is the Man

Hip, Hip, Hurrah!


Happy Birthday! Mr. Magnus B. Nilsson
 The famous Swedish nurseryman that celebrate his 105th birthday today.


The gardener and breeder who is the "father" to one of my favourite perennial flower, the Rudbeckia ‘Magnus’ Echinacea purpurea. The Rudbeckia ‘Magnus’ was the plant of the year in 1998 both here in Sweden as well as abroad. I just love this perennial coneflower with the most fascinating colour combination.  The rusty centre combined with the pale cerise coloured silk-like petals. It is not just we people that enjoyes Rudbeckia ‘Magnus’, so does the butterflies and bees too, they love it.

Cyclamen persicum - November blooms

This post "Cyclamen persicum  - November blooms" was originally uploaded by Tyra Hallsénius Lindhe in the blog Tyras Trädgård/Tyra's Garden



This is an ornamental pot-flower that is perfect for our November weather conditions. Especially this November, we still have this wonderful mild weather. I really love it. It reminds me of the winters I spent in UK; rather wet, mild and foggy. We haven’t had Jack Frost here at all! Thank you - and that is the way the Cyclamen and I like it to be until… Christmas. Although we do, of course, like it to be a white Christmas.

SKÖTSELRÅD-CYKLAMEN från Blomsterfrämjandet




Svenskt namn: Cyklamen ~ Latinskt namn: Cyclamen persicum.


Cyklamen vill ha en jämn tillförsel av vatten, ca 1/2 - 1 dl per dag. Mjukt vatten eller regnvatten är särskilt bra och allra bäst är om den får vattnet underifrån. Tillför en svag dos med näring en gång i veckan under hösten. Gör uppehåll under vintern och återuppta gödslingen i februari-mars.

Cyklamen ska stå ljust. Vid för varm placering kan växten bli lös. Den trivs utmärkt på svala platser samt inglasade balkonger och uterum. Växten klarar temperaturer ned mot 0°C.

Ta bort vissna blommor och blad med ett kraftigt ryck. Om det blir kvar en bit av stjälken längst ned vid knölen pressas växtsaft ut genom brottytan vilket ger en bra grogrund för sjukdomar.

My Melancoly November

My Melancoly November





Weather-wise, we have enjoyed a very mild start of November here, no temperatures below zero (C) and no storms! Very pleasant indeed, although rather foggy at times and that makes it melancholy. I rather like it, the silence and all the different shades of grey. The last rose of the growing season 2011 disrupt the pattern with it’s bright pink colour.
