Cyclamen - Coum

Cyclamen coum is a low-growing tuberous perennial with delicate, winged 'butterfly' flowers in shades of pink to white, and dark green leaves that are beautifully shaped like ivy and marked with a lovely silver. To grow hardy cyclamen outdoors, you can plant bulbs or tubers in late summer or early autumn. Plant the tubers with the top of the tuber just below the surface of the soil, and allow 6 to 10 inches between each tuber.
