SeeWhy™ Purple Cyclamen

SeeWhy™ Purple (70055985) is a compact miniature Cyclamen persicum with purple flowers and a mounding habit; the species is accepted by Kew and belongs to Primulaceae ([Kew Plants of the World Online](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/700765-1)). Syngenta’s exact Americas profile lists full or part shade, a 5–8 inch garden height and width, and flowering in early, mid, and late spring, fall, and winter ([product profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70055985)). The separate SeeWhy series sheet gives general dimensions of 10–15 cm; the exact Purple listing gives 5–8 inches, so keep these separately scoped figures in context ([2025 APAC sheet](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/apac/sites/g/files/kgtney2376/files/media/document/2025/07/16/sellsheet_cyclamen_seewhy.pdf)). ## Seasonal Display This early-flowering mini adds saturated color to small pots, sheltered entrances, and cool indoor or patio arrangements. Its compact mound displays flowers above rounded foliage and groups neatly with other seasonal plants. Leave room for the exact page’s 5–8 inch height and spread. ## Siting and Water Provide a cool, bright setting in full shade or part shade. Use well-drained potting mix and water near the pot edge, keeping the tuber crown dry; let excess drain away. The supplier lists hardiness 7b–10b; use local temperatures to decide when an outdoor pot needs protection. ## Maintenance Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves at the base. Keep the mix lightly moist during active growth, then reduce watering when foliage dies back for summer dormancy. Resume regular moisture as new leaves emerge.
