Editor's Note

Cyclamen rhizomes have a toxic saponin, cyclamin, in the tuberous rhizomes. Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions or paralysis. Suspected of causing skin irritation following handling.

The rhizome is bitter and found underground, so children or family pets are unlikely to be exposed to the toxins. However we tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the poisonous details listed above are a precaution to gardeners, parents and pet owners.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Ann Arbor, Michigan
Elizabeth City, North Carolina
