Common Cyclamen

The Common Cyclamen, scientifically known as Cyclamen persica, is a beloved perennial tuberous plant native to rocky hillsides, scrub, and woodland areas in the Mediterranean region. It is widely prized for its striking, swept-back flowers that bloom in shades of pink, red, purple, and white, as well as its heart-shaped, intricately patterned dark green leaves often featuring silver marbling. As a popular indoor and shade-garden plant, it thrives in cooler temperatures and goes dormant during the hot summer months. Providing the right balance of bright indirect light, careful watering to avoid tuber rot, and well-draining soil ensures vibrant, long-lasting displays.
