Overview

With its unique lilac-toned blooms, Cyclamen 'Dragon' brings an uncommon and striking colour to winter displays, making it a standout choice for seasonal bedding or as an elegant indoor plant.

Perfect for adding vibrancy to pots, window boxes, hanging baskets, or border edges, this cyclamen flowers reliably over the colder months, brightening up even the darkest days. Versatile and low maintenance, it also thrives as a cool-season houseplant, provided it is placed in a bright, cool spot away from direct heat or drying conditions.

Specifications

  • Position: bright, indirect light
  • Soil: moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil, or general-purpose compost for containers
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: November to February
  • Hardiness: borderline hardy (may need winter protection)

Care guide

Cyclamen thrive in well-draining, organic-rich potting compost or soil, with bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight that can scorch leaves. These plants prefer cool conditions, ideally between 60-65°F (15-18°C), and can tolerate temperatures down to 40°F (4°C), but should be protected from frost.

Water your cyclamen when the top of the soil feels dry, watering individual pots from the bottom or around the edges to avoid wetting the crown. Never leave the pot sitting in water to prevent root rot. These plants appreciate higher humidity, so consider placing them on a pebble tray with water.

Cyclamen are sensitive to overwatering, so it's better to slightly underwater than overwater. During the growing season, feed every month with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser.

Gently removing spent flowers and their stems from the base, as well as any yellowing leaves. While the plant can be kept after flowering, it is often best used as a colourful seasonal annual or winter gift as it prefers a period of dormancy during the late spring and summer.

Planting requirements

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in the summer, then fresh new growth will appear again in the spring.
