Notes
'Album' ivy-leaved cyclamen (Cyclamen hederifolium 'Album') is a bulb for ground cover, woodland, and shade garden use. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to moist soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. White flowers open between August and October above ivy-shaped leaves that stay evergreen through winter.
Pairs well with Lady fern, Autumn fern, and Aureola Japanese forest grass.
