How to identify cyclamen

1. Appearance

Cyclamen is a perennial early-maturing plant. The tuber is oblate, about 4-5 cm in diameter, with a cork-like epidermis, which is brown in color. Its leaves and scapes emerge from the top of the tuber at the same time, and the petioles are long, about 5-18 cm.

2. Blades

The leaves of cyclamen are heart-shaped and oval, about 3-14 cm in diameter, slightly blunt at the tip, with fine round teeth on the edges, dark green on the top, and usually with light-colored markings.

3. Flowers

The peduncle of cyclamen is about 15-20 cm high. The calyx is usually split to the base, and the lobes are triangular or oblong-triangular; the corolla is white or rose-red, the throat is dark purple, the tube is nearly hemispherical, and the lobes are oblong-lanceolate, 3.5-5 times longer than the tube.
