Cool-season drama erupts with an unexpected twist of lilac-blue, transforming winter landscapes from dull to dazzling.

Cyclamen 'Dragon Blue' defies seasonal expectations, delivering a rare colour palette that pulses with cool-toned vibrancy across pots, windowboxes, and sheltered garden edges.

This resilient winter performer flourishes in bright, indoor spaces as well as protected outdoor spots, producing prolonged blooms that challenge conventional winter colour norms with its distinctive bluish-lilac tones.

How to care for Cyclamen persicum Dragon Blue:

Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged and remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves to encourage continuous blooming.

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser during the growing season to promote healthy growth, and in the garden, protect from severe cold by covering with a double layer of horticultural fleece.
