Just a footnote to my comment 'hoping a plant will grow', I assumed people would credit me with at least reading the plant's label before selecting a position for it.

I have always thought cyclamen neapolitanum were a native of the Geek Islands and grew wild on the cliffs so I have never planted any of my corms in shade. I have clumps of them, also coum, in flower at the moment, in my garden, growing along the tops of raised beds in full sun. They seed everywhere, especially in thin gritty soil and dry stone walls. My garden has no shade and faces South so they have a real baking most years. It just shows plants will grow where they are happy and go into decline if conditions are not to their liking. I have often looked at the seedlings and wondered how they have survived with no soil.
The hederifoliums will certainly grow in sunny sites @Joyce Goldenlily [I have many seeded into that situation] but I think it's because they're such a valuable plant for shady, difficult spots, that we often think of them just as shade lovers

The old name for hederifolium was neapolitanum. This gives a better idea of the climate it enjoys. Where I have seen it growing in the wild in the Mediterraneum, it seemed to like conditions like primroses: nestled amongst grass and other herbaceous stuff, in a damp soil, in full sun for all except midday.

I have never met Mrs-B3, I'm sure she reads, remembers and follows plant labels. But many of the questions raised by posters come from people who have done none of these things. And also, Mike's point, have done nothing to help themselves.

Except that the OP [@Slow-worm] had certainly done plenty, and had then opted to ask people on the forum - a very sensible move - because she trusts that others can help. That's what this forum is for - gaining knowledge from others who may have the answer, and giving others information where possible.
Without being rude.
@GardenerSuze worked for herself, therefore she chooses her clients, so she is/was suiting herself. It's quite simple - to me anyway.

I can add though, having worked for myself: if you need money, then you are always answerable to the source of that money.
