    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Cyclamen hederifolium 'Album' is a delicate shady perennial with charming white flowers. The leaves are ivy shaped, dark green and often marbled with light green and silver. Called ivyleaf cyclamen, it is summer dormant coming into leaf and bloom between August and October and remaining evergreen throughout the winter into spring. It is the best of the hardy Cyclamen for use as a groundcover. Grow in light, well-drained soil in shade or part shade. Plant en masse for a superb woodland effect. Widely distributed along the Mediterranean from France to Turkey.

    White flowers 1" tall, usually with pink, ruffled-like base. Very attractive, strikingly mottled foliage from late fall thru spring. For well drained soil. Great for planting under trees and shrubs where they naturalize. 2 3/8" square - 3 3/4" deep pots.
