A Cyclamen Resource Guide
Contributor
As a companion to articles by Richie Steffen and Mary Wilbur on cyclamen in the October 2008 and July 2009 issues of Pacific Horticulture, we offer the following resource guide to sources of plants and further information about these choice, drought-tolerant, geophytic plants. All make exceptional gardens plants in dry shade, notable for both their flowers and their striking foliage.
