General about the cyclamen
Cyclamen, Latin name Cyclamen Persicum, are powerful tuberous plants that grow on dry forest soil. They occur in the wild around the Mediterranean Sea, for example in Israel, Asia Minor and from North Africa to Somalia. They are characterized by their enormous zest for life, growth and flowering power.
The flowers appear in three to ten pieces at a time. In countless shades of white, lilac, pink, purple or red of your choice. The leaves are also a good thing: they feel silky soft, often have a beautiful pattern and a purple-colored underside.
