They certainly picked a beautiful form to produce. It is one of the "Christmas Tree" types (the green interior of the leaf vaguely resembles a Christmas tree). Karen and the boys snagged it while they were picking up plants for an installation job. That's an occupational hazard, spending so much time at Garden Centers. I'm glad they picked it up, its a beautiful little plant.
For us, C. coum flowers in the spring, or at least late in the winter. The other hardy Cyclamen commonly grown in the Washington area is
Cyclamen hederifolium. Both leaf out this time of year, but hederifolium begins flowering as it leafs out; we have dozens of flowers on various plants now.
