Your reply was very useful, Alistair. Thank you.
Cyclamen hederifolium does very well in our English garden. I could even say that it threatens to take over.
I grew many cyclamen plants over winter, including C. confusum and C. hederifolium subsp. crassifolium and wanted to plant some out to join the others but had seen conflicting reviews about their hardiness.
I will now definitely risk it.
