Notes

'White Cloud' ivy-leaved cyclamen (Cyclamen hederifolium 'White Cloud') is a perennial for shade gardens, woodland settings, rock gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes part sun and dry to moist, loamy soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It blooms in early to late autumn and attracts bees. It is also drought tolerant and grows slowly as a clump.

Pairs well with Lungwort, Christmas fern, and Aureola Japanese forest grass.
