Notes
'Selected Rubrum' Persian violet (Cyclamen coum 'Selected Rubrum') is a perennial for woodland gardens, shade gardens, and naturalizing. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average moisture. Deep magenta flowers rise above patterned, kidney- to heart-shaped leaves in late winter and early spring, often alongside hellebores. It goes dormant in summer, so plant it in drifts for a woodland look.
Pairs well with Lady fern, Wood sorrel, and Speedwell.
