Cyclamen hederifolium forma albiflorum to give this little plant it's full and rather long name.

This form is like Cyclamen hederifolium in every way with the exception that the reflexed petals are a pure white with no basal markings.

This little chap perfectly compliments it's close relative or makes a wonderful drift of colour when everything else in the garden is fading.

A real little gem and well worth a space in the garden.
