Cyclamen hederifolium is an autumn flowering tuber. The flowers are pendant and have reflexed petals in white through pale to dark purple-pink with a darker staining at the mouth. Flowering usually starts any time from late July onwards often after a short spell of wet weather. They will carry on flowering well in to October and sometime November if the weather is clement. The leaves are just as attractive as the flowers usually ivy-shaped with silver-green marbling with never two the same. These will stay all winter and finally go about May. If they are happy where they are planted they well increase well and look their best when planted in large areas under trees in half shade. They only grow to a height of 10cm (4in) but the tubers can get to the size of a dinner plate in time.
