Mary's Garden Patch: Cyclamen

These Cyclamen are a hardy relative of the popular florist’s Cyclamen. They are excellent for the rock garden, under trees or in the border. Cyclamen do very well as a pot plant (1 in a 4″ pot or 3 in a 10″ pot), but leaving them undisturbed in the garden will make them an excellent groundcover.

Hederifolium Cyclamen

Naturalize well.

Hederifolium Cyclamen have pale pink-violet flowers with swept back petals. Their heart-shaped leaves of green, marbled with white, remain long after the flowers bloom out making a nice groundcover. Grow well in the shade.
