Cyclamen Halios® Purple in Sumatra basket

Cyclamen Halios® is a vigorous series that crowns its silver-patterned leaves with big elegant flowers. The Purple variety impressed us with its richly colored blossoms held on strong stems. An adaptable houseplant that keeps on blooming. Shipped in a 7" wide x 5½" tall Sumatra basket.

The Cyclamen genus, in the Primrose family (Primulaceae), consists of 20-24 species of tuberous perennial plants originating in alpine woodlands, damp woods, or dry sandy areas around the Mediterranean, to Iran and Somalia. Elegant nodding flowers with 5 reflexed petals are white or shades between pink and red; leaves are heart-shaped or rounded. Almost all Cyclamens, whether hardy or tender, go dormant in summer. Cultivars of tropical Cyclamen persicum, with larger flowers than most species, bloom indoors in winter and early spring above ornately patterned leaves.
