Winter Ice™ Mix Cyclamen

Winter Ice™ Mix Cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum; selection 70008627) is a mounding florist cyclamen sold as a mixed-color selection, with a 12–14 inch height and spread. Syngenta lists bloom in early, mid-, and late spring, fall, and winter, part sun or part shade, and hardiness zone 10a; the species is frost tender and needs protection from freezing temperatures ([Syngenta](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70008627), [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/cyclamen-persicum/)). ## Seasonal display Use this selection in a seasonal container or a sheltered planting where its flowers can be appreciated up close. Syngenta’s flowering-time field is a production and cultivar profile; it should be read alongside the species’ natural autumn growth, winter and early-spring bloom, and summer dormancy. The product page lists hardiness zone 10a, while [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/cyclamen-persicum/) explains that florist’s cyclamen are frost tender. ## Growing setting Part sun or part shade and a cool, bright position suit the Winter Ice profile. The species prefers rich, well-drained soil; in a pot, use a free-draining mix and avoid burying the tuber’s crown in wet medium. The series is also described with contrasting silver foliage, which helps frame the seasonal flowers. ## Maintenance Water thoroughly when the surface begins to dry, directing water to the side of the pot or its base. Remove spent flowers cleanly from the tuber base. As leaves fade during summer rest, reduce watering until fresh growth returns.
