Sierra™ Synchro Wine Flame Cyclamen

Sierra™ Synchro Wine Flame is a red-flowered florist cyclamen with a mounded habit and flowers held above the foliage. Syngenta lists this exact selection as product 70045760, with a 12–14 in. garden height and width and a product-specific hardiness listing of Zone 10a. ([Syngenta product 70045760](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70045760)) ## Placement and season Use it as a cool-season pot plant on a sheltered patio or in a bright room. The breeder describes Synchro plants as uniform, densely mounded, and suited to high-quality potted sales; the Wine Flame page lists full shade or part shade and flowering in fall, winter, and early to mid-spring. The red flowers sit above the compact foliage for a strong seasonal color display. ## Growing conditions Choose a cool position and a loose, well-drained mix. Water as the surface starts to dry, keeping water away from the tuber crown. NC State Extension notes that wet tubers can rot and that florist cyclamen are frost tender; its broad species range is USDA Zones 9–11, while Syngenta specifies Zone 10a for this selection.

After flowering, reduce watering as growth slows and avoid saturated soil around the resting tuber. Resume regular watering when new leaves emerge.
