I have had good luck with cyclamen hederifolia and coum.
Since they've worked out so well, I've tried branching out to less common forms.
It's too soon to know about them yet.
I think siting makes all the difference when growing cyclamens.
They like being dry in summer.
My climate is humid/rainy in summer, so I never thought a suitable match.
But if they are planted in an area with tough root competition (such as under a thirsty maple),
then grow great. The maple roots sucks the excess summer moisture from the soil.
So it's a perfect solution for an area otherwise difficult to plant.
Sequoia, I'm not sure where I found repandum.
My winter entertainment is perusing catalogs, so could be from a zillion places. Sorry.
I added a picture of one of the unfurling flower stems - quite cool.
