About Cyclamen

CYCLAMEN Extremely rewarding and showy group of tuberous plants with nodding flowers and reflexed petals. While the shiny, often patterned leaves emerge in fall, the flowers appear as early as January for C. coum and August for C. hederifolium. The leaves will stay into May or June, depending on where in the US, and then disappear for a summer "nap". Please note the plants we grow and ship are in cold frames, which advances their season and they'll start going dormant in April. Plant as is, add some mulch and mark the spot. They'll adjust to your local climate and season by fall. C. purpurascens is the opposite, actually growing and blooming (all are fragrant) throughout sommer. All species we offer like a humus-rich, well drained soil in light to full shade and are one of the few plants that grow under fir trees. Avoid excessive summer moisture. Our Cyclamen are grown in 2 1/2" square pots.
