Fresh seed with full germination instructions on my YouTube channel. Caution! very addictive hobby. After a couple of years they can be planted out in a shady spot or under a tree they will self seed and spread. Cyclamen cilicium have the most delightful scent, planting them in places where you get a lot of people passing (garden gate or path) will ensure everyone gets to experience these beauties. Flowering in autumn they follow the cyclamen hederfoilum flowers. Unlike cyclamen hederfolium cyclamen cilicium can be planted with cyclamen coum without either dominating the other, this is a good way of extending the flowering season until March. Although small plants they can look really stunning in large areas under trees with kidney shaped patterned leaves. Once established they spread by self seeding. The leaves die back to the corm for the summer, coming from around the Mediterranean they exploit the cooler months to flower and breed.
