Cyclamen hederifolium White Pearls

Cyclamen

Hardy Cyclamen

One of the easiest and showiest Cyclamen species for the garden, the hederifolium have marbled foliage and dramatic blossoms that make an inviting ground-level attraction beneath a mature deciduous tree. After pointed buds rise from established tubers, glorious blooms composed of five reflexing petals emerge. As the downward-facing flowers fade and seeds form, spent stems spiral earthward, thus earning its Greek derivation from cyclo or circle.

Clusters of overlapping, 4 to 6 in. heart-shaped lustrous leaves, each intricately etched with pewter, persist all winter, dying back in late spring. Provide the following cultural requirements: good drainage, protection from the sun, a lime amendment, minimal summer water, and a deep planting where winters are cold; you’ll be rewarded with a happy stand of these garden gems.

Cyclamen hederifolium ‘White Pearls’ partial shade

The pure white nodding flowers gracing this hederifolium cultivar show like comets against the deep green and very decoratively patterned foliage. Place ‘White Pearl’ beneath Styrax japonicus to extend the clean and classic display.

Blooms October–November.

Size: 6"–8" high x 2'–3' wide; hardy to zone 5.
