Cyclamen is a small but diverse genus of plants. Many species are hardy, generally in USDA Zones 7 and above. But Cyclamen persicum is often seen for sale throughout the fall and winter, in less hardy zones, as a houseplant. C. persicum, aptly referred to as the Florist’s Cyclamen, has sweet scented small (½ to 3/4 inch) flowers that are produced on long stems, held upright above the foliage. It is a tuberous perennial with heart shaped leaves common to cyclamen
