Notes

'Silver Leaf Pink' Persian violet (Cyclamen coum 'Silver Leaf Pink') is a perennial for woodland gardens, shade gardens, and mass planting. 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. Pink flowers glimmer over silver, heart- to kidney-shaped leaves in late winter and early spring, often alongside Helleborus. It goes dormant in summer, so pair it with plants that fill the gap. Plant it en masse for a woodland effect.

Pairs well with Lady fern, Aureola Japanese forest grass, and Wood sorrel.
