Rainier™ Scarlet Cyclamen

Rainier™ Scarlet is an upright, large-flowered Persian cyclamen with scarlet-red blooms and strong stems. Syngenta lists this product under code 70007605 and recommends it for cool, dim production and 14–20 cm containers ([Rainier Scarlet product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/emea/product/flower/70007605)). ### Flowers and placement Use the bright flowers as a seasonal focal point in a pot, window box, or sheltered entry. The Rainier series is grown for large flowers carried on thick stems, and Syngenta recommends larger pots for this scarlet selection. Its upright stems and vivid color make a clear focal point among lower foliage plants. Persian cyclamen is frost tender and generally flowers through the cool season, with species guidance placing bloom from early winter into spring ([NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/cyclamen-persicum/common-name/florists-cyclamen/)). ### Growing conditions Give it bright indirect light or partial shade and keep it cool. Grow in a well-drained potting medium; water when the soil surface begins to dry, directing water around the pot edge instead of over the crown. Avoid standing water, which encourages tuber rot. Remove old flowers and leaves as they fade. ## Maintenance
