Mild coastal and subtropical gardens can grow it outdoors through winter.

Plants travel upright and settle in within a few weeks of potting. Cyclamen flower in the cooler months, so a summer arrival makes leaf first, and it needs a season to build towards its 40cm size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
