jeff--

I think she means-"When do I PLANT" a Cyclamen corm so it will be in bloom
for spring sales.
Unfortunately--I cannot advise.

Well first off, you need to buy the correct cyclamen. Some bloom in late summer/early fall, others bloom in early spring. Cyclamen coum and Cyclamen rhodium are two spring blooming varieties that are hardy for you zone. I would think you'd want to plant them late summer/early fall so they can get established with new leaves going into the winter. At least that's when I planted mine.

I still wonder if she was referring to the indoor, house plant, Cyclamen.
The common gift plant?
You are talking about the garden Cyclamen--right?

Have to wait until "campfarm" replies.... G.

Well the indoor ones bloom in the winter, so I was thinking it'd have to be the outdoor type.
