Goldsmith's Miracle Salmon won the 1995 FloraStar award as outstanding new potted plant. Cyclamen endures cold, wet soil. It grows well under native oaks. Its fragile looks are deceiving. The cup-shaped flowers atop long stems seem to withstand the worst conditions, including strong wind and rain.
Flowers are orange, pink and cream.
They are easy to start from seed in fall, but transplants are the best bet at this time. They will bloom through June. Grows 1 to 2 feet high in sunny locations. Wonderland produces shorter but longer-lasting flowers. This tough plant might be nipped by heavy frost but takes rain and cold without a whimper.
