I am in Southern Oregon where Cyclamen persicum is NOT hardy. HOWEVER, they are great in the house over the winter ( with GOOD light!) and my oldest, a white and maroon flower, is over fifteen years old. When it goes dormant after blooming and setting seed , I let them dry and put them outside for the summers and about October I start watering them and bring them inside as they leaf out...GREAT cheerful blooms...not to mention many seedlings!!! Easy !! Yes, I also grow C. hederifolium, C.coum. and C. purpurascens...Such great and easy garden friends!!! Thank you!! Leigh Blake Trail Oregon..where we are not getting any snow this year...
