Cyclamen persicum, Mill. (C. hederaefolium, Sibth. & Smith. C. indicum, Linn. C. latifolium, Sibth. & Smith. C. macrophyllum, Sieb. C. punicum, Pomel. C. pyrolaefolium, Salisb.). The common greenhouse or Persian cyclamen, in many forms: tuber large, flattened endwise, corky on the outside: lvs. appearing with the fls., ovate, crenate-dentate, base deeply cordate, usually marbled or variegated with white: fls. on scapes 6-7 in. high, large, scentless, white, purple-blotched at the mouth, but with rose-colored, purple and spotted forms, the segms. oblong-spatulate in shape, not eared or lobed at the base: pedicel not coiling in fr. Greece to Syria. The large-fld. cult. forms are grouped as follows by Pax & Knuth: Var. album (C. aleppicum, Hort.). Pure white. Var. giganteum. White with red throat; very large. Var. magnificum (var. punctatum). White, speckled with red, large. Var. rubrum. Red. var. sanguineum. Light blood-red, large. Var. rosea-superbum. Brilliant rose-red, large. Var. purpureum. Purple with bluish markings, large. Var. violaceum. Violet-red. Var. atrorubrum and var. splendens. Dark red, large. The var. giganteum (C. giganteum, Hort.) is the common large-fld., improved form of the florist's cyclamen. There are also double-fld. forms; also fimbriate or crested forms, C. Papilio. The species is frequently figured in the trade catalogues.

The cyclamen commonly sold by florists is C. persicum, which is frost-tender. Selected cyclamen cultivars can have white, bright pink, red or purple flowers. While flowering, florists' cyclamens should be kept below 20 °C (68 °F), with the night time temperatures preferably between 6.5 °C to 15 °C (44 °F to 59 °F). Temperatures above 20 °C (68 °F) may induce the plant to go dormant.
