This compact cyclamen offers vivid scarlet flowers that stand out cleanly above patterned heart-shaped foliage and keep their colour well through the colder months. The blooms rise on sturdy stems and hold their shape neatly, creating a bright display that works well on windowsills, cool rooms, and even sheltered outdoor spots in milder UK areas.
Foliage remains attractive through the season, giving a strong contrast that highlights the richness of the red tones. Cyclamen ‘Rainier Scarlet’ performs reliably in cool conditions and provides long-lasting winter colour indoor use or protected garden settings and will arrive in bud or flower during the season.
Please note that the plant comes in a nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

Cyclamen thrive in well-draining, organic-rich potting compost or soil, with bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight that can scorch leaves. These plants prefer cool conditions, ideally between 60-65°F (15-18°C), and can tolerate temperatures down to 40°F (4°C), but should be protected from frost.
Water your cyclamen when the top of the soil feels dry, watering individual pots from the bottom or around the edges to avoid wetting the crown. Never leave the pot sitting in water to prevent root rot. These plants appreciate higher humidity, so consider placing them on a pebble tray with water.
Cyclamen are sensitive to overwatering, so it's better to slightly underwater than overwater. During the growing season, feed every month with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser.
Gently removing spent flowers and their stems from the base, as well as any yellowing leaves. While the plant can be kept after flowering, it is often best used as a colourful seasonal annual or winter gift as it prefers a period of dormancy during the late spring and summer.
