Grow Cyclamen Tianis Mix Seed for a compact cool-season pot display of medium-sized flowers in a broad blend of solid and patterned colours above marbled green foliage. This Cyclamen persicum F1 blend is TIANIS® Mix (breeder code 3900), not an all-white-rimmed mix.

Quick Grow Facts

• Plant Type: Frost-tender tuberous perennial, normally grown as a cool-season flowering pot plant.
• Scientific Name: Cyclamen persicum F1; Morel TIANIS Mix, code 3900.
• Seed Form: Current live variants are named raw seed. “Raw” does not prove that a lot is untreated, so sow as supplied and follow any lot-specific instruction on the physical packet.
• Sowing Plan: Count back about 27–29 weeks from the desired cool-season display and start seed only where a stable 18°C can be maintained.
• Position: Bright filtered light, gentle morning sun or a cool, bright indoor position after germination.
• Sow Depth and Light: Sow one seed per clean plug cell, cover with 5 mm of fine medium and keep in total darkness during the main germination stage.
• Germination: About 20 days at a constant 18°C in controlled breeder conditions; home trays may take longer to complete emergence.
• Final Pot and Spacing: One plant per 10.5–12 cm pot; keep pot centres roughly 22–25 cm apart for light and airflow.
• Finished Size: About 24–26 cm high and 20–22 cm wide.
• Flowering: About 27–29 weeks from sowing or 15–17 weeks from a suitable plug under controlled breeder culture.

Why Grow This Variety

• The current breeder blend spans purple, magenta, reds, roses, salmon, whites, flamed flowers and eye-patterned bicolours.
• Uniform, compact plants suit smaller flowering pots and gift-style containers.
• Midi flowers make a colourful close-view display without the bulk of a maxi cyclamen.
• The 10.5–12 cm final-pot range is useful for protected patios, verandas and bright indoor displays.

Garden Uses

Finish one plant per container for a compact cool-season display. Place it in bright filtered light under frost-free cover; protect open flowers from prolonged rain, hot afternoon sun and warm nights.

Growing Notes

• Move germinated trays into bright filtered light at 18–20°C before seedlings stretch, then reduce humidity gradually and provide airflow.
• At transplanting, leave about one-third to one-half of the young tuber visible; do not bury the crown.
• Use an aerated, free-draining medium, keep it evenly moist without saturation and water at the pot edge or from below.
• Keep the tuber and foliage dry overnight, feed lightly once rooted and reduce watering as the plant naturally slows after flowering.

Safety: Cyclamen is ornamental and must not be eaten. Keep seed, tubers and plants away from children and pets.
