Yes, persicum is generally available in bloom in a wide variety of colors
all months of the year. I don't get frost, so the cultivars will thrive
here year 'round.

For what it is worth, Cyclamen coum and hederifolium are commonly available
from the major commercial bulb sellers, although they are usually pretty
battered by the time they get to you...but a tiny fraction of the cost from
specialist bulb sellers.

I managed to get a group of wild sourced persicum seedlings, and they show
a broad range of leaf markings, haven't flowered yet.
