Cyclamen Halios Victoria

Common Name: Halios® Victoria Cyclamen

Description: The Halios® Victoria Cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum 'Halios Victoria') is a distinctive cultivar celebrated for its elegant, fringed petals and striking coloration. The flowers typically exhibit a white base with a light pink eye and edges, creating a delicate and appealing contrast. This variety is part of the Halios® Select series, known for its eye-catching "fancy" varieties, with approximately 50% of the blooms featuring a prominent ruffle effect. The plant boasts a compact and robust habit, with abundant, centrally positioned blooms rising above attractive, marbled foliage. In Melbourne's climate, the Halios® Victoria Cyclamen thrives when provided with partial sun exposure and well-drained soil. It is ideal for container planting, garden beds, or as a decorative indoor plant during its flowering season. Regular watering is essential to maintain soil moisture, but care should be taken to avoid waterlogging, as cyclamens are susceptible to tuber rot. Deadheading spent flowers and removing yellowing leaves will encourage further blooming and maintain the plant's appearance. This cyclamen typically blooms from early spring through autumn and winter, adding a splash of color during the cooler months.
