We have temperatures between 28° and 36°C from late June to early September. I put them in complete shade and they usually make it.<BR/><BR/>Kerri - I've never tried them indoors, though I know they're often sold as houseplants. The smaller leaved varieties in particular are less hardy. Maybe it was the shock of a sudden change in temperature? Was it already cold when you brought them in?Sue Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053188212601918182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-34338867152747628802009-02-20T03:25:00.000+01:002009-02-20T03:25:00.000+01:00What a lovely pale pink bud!What a lovely pale pink bud!Iowa Gardening Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457574109288160557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-80544825898002637892009-02-19T07:06:00.000+01:002009-02-19T07:06:00.000+01:00I hope you have continued warming weather and your...I hope you have continued warming weather and your cyclamen flourish.

And isn't it so tempting to want to work in the garden and add more plants or seeds on those wonderful 50+ degree weather? I almost did something like that when we had similar weather. I'm glad I didn't because it was snowing today and it's now turned to ice and sleet!<BR/>I went out and purchased 2 cyclamen from Lowes last week, and some primrose and other green indoor plants. I couldn't take it any more and went a little crazy!!!! Happy GBBD to you:)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-9180306303018186482009-02-16T18:51:00.000+01:002009-02-16T18:51:00.000+01:00It feels like spring here too, Sue, although like ...It feels like spring here too, Sue, although like you I can't help thinking we're just being teased.<BR/>Your cyclamen is looking beautiful.
