Cyclamen Hederifolium Cyclamen Hederifolium Cyclamen Hederifolium close up Cyclamen Hederifolium in woodland

A true garden classic, Cyclamen hederifolium brings understated elegance and seasonal charm to both sunlit and shaded spaces. Native to the Mediterranean, this adaptable perennial thrives in a range of light conditions—from dappled woodland shade to full sun—making it an excellent choice for a variety of planting schemes.

Flowering from November, Cyclamen hederifolium provides a welcome splash of colour in the autumn garden. Its pale pink blooms emerge just as many other plants are fading, rising above a distinctive mat of silvery-green, marbled foliage. The ivy-shaped leaves not only give this cyclamen its name but also create a textured, attractive groundcover that pairs beautifully with woodland plants and low-growing shrubs.

This variety flourishes in humus-rich, well-drained soil and is well-suited for naturalising under trees, along borders, or even in rock gardens. Remarkably hardy and low-maintenance, Cyclamen hederifolium returns year after year, rewarding gardeners with its timeless beauty and resilience.

For a reliable touch of late-season colour and texture, Cyclamen hederifolium is a must-have in any well-rounded garden design.

How to plant Cyclamen

  • Find a location with well-drained, humus-rich soil
  • Cyclamen are shade lovers and grow well in full or partially-shaded areas. This variety will also tolerate sunny positions.  
  • If planting in the garden, plant the bulbs 6-8cm below the soil surface.
  • If planting in Pots, find a container and fill it with good-quality, well-drained soil. Ensure there is adequate draining holes.
  • Plant in the Autumn, September through November.
  • After planting, water the Cyclamen well, gently soaking the soil to settle it around the bulbs.
  • Cyclamen hederifolium will flower early in November.
