AUTUMN-FLOWERING. The flowers, resembling those of Cyclamen hederifolium, emerge at the end of summer, just before or simultaneously with the leaves. A remarkable feature is that the flower stem coils like a corkscrew from the middle of the stem, unlike most other species where this occurs from the top of the stem. The leaves are very diverse among themselves and often beautifully decorated with cream, grey or silvery flames and patterns. The combinations here are endless! (text: Wikipedia) Give this cyclamen a very warm spot in summer, possibly in a greenhouse, otherwise, they will not flower. Keep moist and plant in drained soil with some conifer soil. Protect well during severe winters.
