Cyclamen hederifolium, commonly known as Neapolitan Cyclamen or Persian Violet, a stunning, perennial plant that transforms your garden into a fall and winter wonderland. Belonging to the Primulaceae family and native to western Asia and southern Europe, this hardy cyclamen is ideal for USDA zones 5 to 9. Growing 4-6 inches tall and spreading 6-12 inches wide, Cyclamen hederifolium showcases elegant, nodding flowers in shades of pink to (not often) white, often with a darker eye, that rise above its striking, ivy-shaped foliage from late summer to mid-fall. Its exquisitely mottled leaves, in shades of green, gray, and silvery white, persist through winter, offering almost evergreen ground cover.

Perfect for partially shaded rock gardens, woodland gardens, or as an underplanting for trees and shrubs, this low-maintenance plant is both deer and drought resistant. It thrives in well-drained, humus-rich soils, and requires minimal upkeep—no weeding or deadheading necessary. Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society for its outstanding qualities, your garden will flourish with Cyclamen hederifolium's breathtaking presence. Watch for mice and squirrels, and avoid excessive watering during summer dormancy to prevent corm rot. Embrace the naturalizing charm of Cyclamen hederifolium, and let your garden be captivated by its enduring beauty.
