Cyclamen Indiaka® Salmon in white ceramic cachepot

Like the colorful, feathered shuttlecocks used in indiaca, a sport popular in Europe, the flashy pink-and-white flowers of Cyclamen Indiaka® Salmon are fascinating to observe. Rising above deep green, beautifully patterned, heart-shaped leaves, the blossoms are long-lasting, delightful for holiday decorating, and a powerful antidote to winter weather. Shipped in a 6½" wide x 6" tall white ceramic cachepot.

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.
