About This Plant
Cyclamen Silver Leaf Scarlet is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.
Hardy Cyclamen are diminutive shade-garden perennials with marbled heart-shaped leaves and reflexed pink or white flowers. C. coum blooms in late winter; C. hederifolium in fall.
Part shade to full shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 5 to 9. Tolerates dry shade once established. Self-sows gently.
For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
