Eco™ Scarlet Cyclamen

Eco™ Scarlet is a compact Cyclamen persicum with vivid red flowers and a rounded, mounded form. Its listed 11–13-inch height and width suit a small container or sheltered planting, and Syngenta recommends part shade to part sun. This cool-season selection flowers through fall, winter, and spring, bringing color to a patio or protected garden edge. [Syngenta Eco™ Scarlet](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70061735) ## Growing Conditions Plant in a well-drained potting mix and give it bright light with some protection from strong afternoon sun. Keep the growing medium lightly moist but never soggy; water near the pot rim so the tuber crown stays dry. Syngenta lists hardiness zone 10a, while NC State Extension notes that florist’s cyclamen is frost tender and does best in cool conditions. Treat it as a sheltered cool-season container plant in colder climates.

As foliage yellows and the tuber enters summer dormancy, reduce watering and keep the pot on the dry side; resume regular watering when new growth appears in fall. Protect the plant from frost and avoid standing water around the tuber.
