    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This handsome corm is dormant during spring and summer. In fall, the foliage reemerges with green and silver markings. Worth growing for the foliage let alone having vibrant pink-white flowers all winter.

    A delightful form of Cyclamen coum, the round green leaves more splashed with silver than the straight species. A wonderful plant for dry shade where soil is well-drained, providing colorful foliage all winter and pink to white flower from fall to spring. Spreads by dividing the underground tubers to form lovely colonies under shrubs and anywhere color is wanted. To 5-10" tall forming small colonies. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.
