The word ‘cyclamen’ refers to a genus of flowering plants in the family Primulaceae. These plants are known for their distinctive heart-shaped leaves and beautiful, often fragrant flowers that can be white, pink, or purple. Cyclamen are commonly grown as ornamental plants, both indoors and outdoors, and are native to Europe and the Mediterranean region. They thrive in shaded areas and are often found in woodland environments. The tubers of some species can also be toxic if ingested.
