    Where is the best place to buy cyclamen plants or corms.

    And how hardy would they be?

    Cc. hederifolium, coum, repandum, purpurascens, mirabile, caucasicum. alpinum and some others are all hardy. The big flowered florists ones, C. persicum are tender.
    Not sure of sources in Scotland though.

    To add to Palustris's reply - try the RHS plant finder. That should give you suppliers to the ones you want.

    A nice small one is cyclamen neopolitanum very hardy, as for the others I have always planted out the ones you get in those christmas arrangements when things have gone past their best, some have survived and have been outdide several years.

    Are you anywhere near Cumbernauld? The Dobies there is bound to have them.
