Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
Cyclamen purpurascens (purple or European cyclamen) is an evergreen tuberous perennial native to central Europe, northern Italy and the Balkans, growing in beech woodland, often over limestone, at 250-1300 m elevation. The tuber produces heart-shaped leaves marbled in green and silver, which often persist until new foliage emerges. From late summer into autumn it bears fragrant pink to magenta flowers with reflexed, twisted petals. It is the hardiest cyclamen species, tolerating cold winters; it prefers humus-rich, well-drained soil in part shade, with a rather dry summer rest.
