Cyclamen persicum-Hybride. Potted cyclamen persicum (a large "florists' cultivar") on a conservatory windowsill.
Cyclamen persicum-Hybride The breeding of persicum cultivars began seriously in the mid-nineteenth century through selection and back-crossing, and resulting in flowers several times larger than the wild species. Much of this work took place in England and the Netherlands and many named forms were produced. Today, Cyclamen persicum cultivars are mass produced as pot-plants particularly in the Netherlands and Germany, using F1 hybrid seed strains.
