Winter flowers

[masma]

We've planted winter Pansies and Cyclamen in our garden, it might be a daft question but will they need feeding the same as summer plants. TIA.

No

no-
they wont actually grow- they just maintain colour and foiliage during the winter months

Excellent - thanks to you both.

I disagree with the above - they will perform much better with some feed about once a month especially the pansies which if fed will continue well into the spring and will continue to grow.

The Cyclamen will be ok without feed but will benefit from it to extend the flowering period and also the better fed ones will fatten up and be even better the following year.
