Does anyone grow these??? I read that a lot of them like to be under trees
because it is dry. I'm wondering if they would be ok under tall pine trees?
thanks!

Hello Edie,
Yep... should work for you as long as the cyclamen are getting enough
light to bloom well. they do not want dark and dank... plenty of light but
not full sun. Plant very shallow... not more than and inch or so and mulch
lightly with the pine needles... Not hard to grow and bloom well. I have
three species here in the garden for some years now along with some of their
cultivars. Order from a small nursery that grows their own and can send them
to you at the proper planting time. Need to be moved while dormant but not
allowed to dry out for best performance.
