To revert to the original question.. These pics may be helpful.
Two cyclamen plants bought at a market from a guy who buys from Covent garden and usually sells outdoor plants.
Small white flowers, very "persicum" appearance, no scent.
When they finished flowering, I moved them from bathroom window ledge to under tje co;d grenhouse bench. Although placed together, the frost only got one.
location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand. "Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
"... hybridisation now means that there are quite a few 'new type on the block' ... the ones advertised on this site are said to be hardy down to -2C in dryish conditions https://www.cyclamen.com/en/professional/garden..."
These are often sold by supermarkets, Tesco included, as winter bedding plants aka 'mini cyclamen'.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Can you or any other posters recommend another UK gardeners' forum that would better suit my interests and personality? Please do so. I will gladly leave and take my potentially helpful knowledge and experience with me.
In the meanwhile, I will stick around and try to improve things here.

I think that advertising another forum on here might not be looked upon very highly by the "powers that be", however if you care to send me a Pm l might be able to help . I am not being snide, this is a genuine post .
@bede As I mentioned yesterday you need a proper unbiased opinion from those you know. Sharing your posts with them rather than strangers will give you the advice you personally need, without the thoughts of strangers.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
