It is said that one can have a Cyclamen blooming every month of the year due to the range of cultivars available. The winter however is mainly left to coum. There is some variation in leaf shape flower color and patterning throughout the world; however ours have rounded to heart shaped leaves with silvery markings. A dramatically beautiful sight during the winter months. It does great as a woodland specimen plant where it can create vast swathes of flowers. Over time it will seed around itself to form larger and larger colonies over time. Van Zyverden hardy perennial USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9 1 lb
