Hardy Fall Blooming Cyclamen (Cyclamen hederifolium)

I received 2 of 3 bulbs and they looked healthy. I planted the in a partial shade under my decorative bushes in zone 8a. A year passed before I noticed green leaves and then flowers coming up. Now, it has been 3-4 years since I had them. They self spread a lot and flower consistently. The flowers are so tiny and fragile, it looks like a fairy tale garden. They're bright pink. I have them blooming in February the entire month. They survived a winter storm with temperatures below freezing. The leaves are very attractive as well. Overall, I am very happy with the results. However, I wish the flowers were larger. It takes a while for the plants to establish, but when they do, they do well. I don't do anything special to support them, they are on their own.

While they're not long bloomers, it's the only item in my pots that maintains its leaves throughout winter - and the foliage itself is lovely and interesting, marbled leaves on pink stems. Lovely in bloom in late summer/early fall. Easy to grow in pots and have something green of interest throughout the winter.

One of the coums was very dried out, but I planted it anyway. I had only two blooms from the five plants and they were smaller and not as bright as pictured, but still very pretty. I was a little disapponted. Then the leaves came out. They are beautiful! I would grow them for the leaves alone. I have ordered the mixed cyclamen for spring and fall blooms.

Great size to these corms! Well packed and arrived in good shape.

Hardy Cyclamen bulbs arrived at right time, are large and firm, appear perfect. If they prove to be happy in my garden, I surely will buy more from K. van Bourgondien.
