Nan:
I'm curious if anyone has tried Cyclamen persicum f. puniceum outdoors?
I got my plant from Judith and Dick Tyler, who got it from Tilebarn
Nursery in the UK. Judith shared a plant that had been hardy in her
unheated greenhouses for several years. I planted it outdoors in early
fall, and it has been fine through several nights at 15F with no
protection. They have another selection of C. persicum from Israel that
they claim is even hardier. I have tried several collections of regular
C. persicum before and none showed any winter hardiness. Thoughts?
