Cyclamen intaminatum f. roseum is still going on, there are two forms:
- plain green leaf

Gorgeous!  I've germinated Cyclamen intaminatum but the plants don't last for me.

Claire, it's a pity, here it spreads well.

Claire,

I'm in zone 8b and it grows well for me in sandy loam with a lot of organic material and added leaf mold. I invert a large poultry feeder jar over them when hard frosts are expected.  The lip of the jar is threaded, and I rotate it while pressing down to let it bite its way into the soil.

I am in USDA zone 8b where temperatures almost never fall below 15F -9.4C.  Rainfall 50" 110 cm + but none  June-September.  We seldom get snow; but when it comes we get 30" overnight. Soil is sandy loam with a lot of humus.

Thanks for the advice, Marc. My zone is closer to 7 than 8, winters wet and cold.  But some sort of cloche might work if I find the right spot to try them again.
