Cyclamen is a genus of 23 species of flowering plants, traditionally classified in the family Primulaceae, but in recent years reclassified in the family Myrsinaceae (Kallersjo et al. 2000). The genus is most widely known by its scientific name Cyclamen being taken into common usage; other names occasionally used include sowbread and sometimes, confusingly, Persian violet (it is not related to the violets), or primrose (neither is it a primrose).

Beautiful Autumn Blooms and Foliage
Hardy cyclamen look like the florist cyclamen except they have much smaller blooms. From August to October hardy cyclamen have brilliant blooms, pink to white ranging from 3 to 6 inches tall. They display very handsome attractive foliage that lasts from winter through spring. Learn more about autumn blooming hardy cyclamen, "Blooms and Foliage".

The tuber is round or disk-shaped and derived from the hypocotyl. In most species, leaves come up in autumn and die in spring, and the plant goes dormant through the dry Mediterranean summer.
There are species blooming any month of the year,
but most in autumn or spring.
