Part of Schoneveld Breeding's innovative Super Serie Dragon collection, it was developed as the \u003cstrong\u003eworld's first blue F1 Cyclamen\u003c\/strong\u003e and brings a genuinely unusual colour to autumn and winter plant displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied in a \u003cstrong\u003e10.5cm diameter nursery pot\u003c\/strong\u003e at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e25cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e, ‘Dragon Deep Blue’ has a compact, rounded shape with masses of flowers held neatly above the foliage.

A cool windowsill, bright hallway or other well-lit room away from strong midday sunshine is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCyclamen particularly dislike hot, dry rooms, so avoid placing the plant directly beside radiators, fires or other heat sources.

Avoid repeatedly pouring water directly into the centre of the plant, where excess moisture around the tuber can encourage rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNever leave the plant permanently standing in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTemperature \u0026amp; Humidity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCyclamen thrive in \u003cstrong\u003ecooler indoor conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e.

This keeps the crown tidy and reduces the amount of dying plant material left around the tuber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Happens After Flowering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCyclamen persicum naturally enters a period of \u003cstrong\u003edormancy\u003c\/strong\u003e after flowering. As spring progresses, the foliage may begin to yellow and die back. This is part of the plant's normal life cycle rather than necessarily a sign that it has died.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGradually reduce watering as the leaves fade. Keep the tuber relatively dry during its resting period, then begin watering again when fresh growth appears later in the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan It Grow Outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCyclamen ‘Dragon Deep Blue’ can enjoy a \u003cstrong\u003ecool, sheltered outdoor position\u003c\/strong\u003e while temperatures remain mild, and can look beautiful on a protected doorstep, balcony or covered patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, this is a tender Cyclamen persicum rather than a hardy garden Cyclamen. It should be \u003cstrong\u003eprotected from frost\u003c\/strong\u003e and we would not recommend leaving it outdoors through an Edinburgh winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtraordinary deep violet-blue flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the world's first blue F1 Cyclamen series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautifully patterned, marbled green foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact plant with abundant flowers held above the leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for bringing colour indoors through autumn and winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA genuinely unusual alternative to traditional Cyclamen colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinner at the HTA National Plant Show 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePet \u0026amp; Child Safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCyclamen are \u003cstrong\u003eharmful if eaten\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the tuber containing the highest concentration of irritating compounds.
