💜 Unmatched Color and Flower Power

The Super Serie Dragon line is known for its deep, saturated colors — and Dark Blue leads the collection with rich violet-blue petals that seem to shimmer in cool winter light. These upright blooms rise above lush, silver-marbled leaves, creating a striking contrast that brightens shaded patios, entryways, and indoor displays.

Each plant produces a long succession of flowers, keeping its beauty from late fall through early spring.


🌿 Strong, Uniform Growth

Cyclamen Super Serie Dragon varieties are bred for uniformity and vigor. Plants stay compact but full, forming tidy mounds that look perfect in 4–5 inch pots or decorative planters.

  • Height: 6–9 inches (15–23 cm)

  • Spread: 9–13 inches (23–33 cm)

  • Best Exposure: Partial sun or bright filtered light

This series thrives in cool, well-ventilated conditions, making it ideal for greenhouses or indoor winter color displays.


Choose Your Cyclamen Seed Packs

Which one should I choose? Choose Dragon Dark Blue for the variety featured in this guide. Dragon Light Blue offers a softer blue-toned companion, shown in its own product photo. For a different color palette, choose Smartiz® Pure White, Select Deep Magenta, or Smartiz® Mix. Illusia Light Eye is a soft pink option for indoor pots. The four non-Dragon choices are different varieties, not Dragon color variants.

These are seeds to grow on for future flowers, not ready-blooming plants. Crop timing varies; do not treat the original guide’s 20–21-week estimate as a guaranteed finish date. Illusia’s listing, for example, specifies approximately 27–30 weeks from sowing to flowering and 6–8-inch pots. The featured container selections are not substitutes for hardy woodland cyclamen.

🌱 Germination & Growing Tips

Dragon Dark Blue germinates best at 65–68°F (18–20°C) in total darkness. Keep humidity steady but avoid saturated media. Once seedlings emerge, maintain a day temperature of 65°F (18°C) and night temperature of 59°F (15°C).

Feed at 75–100 ppm N and watch for strong, compact growth with minimal stretching. With about 20–21 weeks to finish, plants are ready to impress during the holiday and winter seasons.

Want to grow the featured variety? Choose Dragon Dark Blue seeds and plan your growing schedule well before you need flowers.


🦋 Why Grow the Dragon Series

  • Superior color saturation and consistency

  • Excellent shelf life and post-bloom durability

  • Compact habit for premium retail or home display

  • Performs well both indoors and in cool outdoor climates

If you’re searching for a dependable, dazzling winter bloomer — Cyclamen Super Serie Dragon Dark Blue is your showpiece.

Outdoor placement: Cool-season performance is not a promise of frost tolerance. Plan protected, frost-free conditions rather than treating Dragon as a hardy woodland species.
