Cyclamen Magenta Flame

Common Name: Halios® Magenta Flame Cyclamen

Description: The Halios® Magenta Flame Cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum 'Halios Magenta Flame') is a tuberous perennial celebrated for its large, fan-shaped magenta blooms adorned with a distinctive white-ruffled edge. These striking flowers rise above dark, marbled foliage, creating a captivating contrast. The plant maintains a well-centered, voluminous form, contributing to its robust and upright habit. In Melbourne's climate, this 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.
