Plants are sent established in their growing medium in pots. Cyclamen hederifolium and coum are the hardest. We believe they are hardy to Zone 5 and possibly 4 with protection. The next hardest group contain Cyclamen cilicium, intaminatum and pseudibericum. These are all hardy for us here in Zone 6B. Cyclamen also make excellent window sill plants and grow very well under lights.
Most cyclamen prefer at least partial shade.
Endemic to the Balearic Islands. We have not tried ours in the garden not wanting to chance their hardiness here. Give dappled shade when planting in the garden. A hardy species from S. Turkey with leaves distinctively marked with patterns of cream or light green. A diminutive plant smaller than C. hederifolium.
