Item Specifics Type; Bulbs Common Name; Persian Violet Cultivating Difficulty; Easy Features; Flowering, Cold Resistant Genus; Cyclamen Indoor/Outdoor; Indoor Outdoor Life Cycle; Perennial Season of Interest; Fall Sunlight; Low Sun Watering; Medium Color; Pink, Purple Description While some Cyclamen don't show their true colors until late fall or early winter, others, like Hederifolium, prefer to get the show started early, blooming from late summer to early fall. Gorgeous, ivy-shaped foliage intricately laced and marbled with silver is reason enough to plant Cyclamen, but in reality, the decorative leaves are just the backdrop for the whimsical flowers. Gracefully upswept petals ranging from soft lilac to vivid fuchsia are reminiscent of butterflies about to take flight. Now, you might expect them to be delicate based on appearance, but don't be fooled - these charmers are as tough as they come! Hardy down to zone 5, the foliage remains lush through late spring until the plant slips into summer dormancy. We love planting Cyclamen en masse in woodland areas where they thrive under the shelter of trees. Enjoy!
