12 for 32.95 C. coum #CY06
A hardy species, the first blooms often greet- ing snow. Stems are seldom more than 3" high, and leaves are plain, not marbled, and appear in autumn. Purplish-magenta flowers – miniature florists’ cyclamen – appear later, from December through April, depending on location. This shade-tolerant species is easily grown in a well-drained, leafy soil. Be patient because bulbs may remain dormant for over a year, but blooms are always worth the wait, and self-sown seedlings are the norm. [Ht: 4", Bl: VE, Zones: 5 to 8, S/SSH, 16/sq. yd.] 3 for 9.95
