I have had an ordinary cyclamen since May, it finally finished flowering today.
What do I do with it now.

Also, it has one seed head that looks viable. Will the seeds grow
TIA

Plant it outside in your garden, it will do well. Will also seed & grow more

They plant their own seed, leave it alone and the plant will do it all by itself. Fascinating to watch! That's why they clump, rather than scatter grow.

I love having cyclamen plants on my kitchen windowsill over winter . cost about $4 each from TWH & they give months of pleasure & once they are finished, I chuck them outside, sometimes I plant them under trees, & sometimes I just pop them pots and all, out side & they start flowering again . hardy little plants. In my climate, I've never had one seed, but I don't care. They are very resilient little plants.

I bought all the cyclamens from twh from there chuck out plant bin for $5 for the lot. There are 20. Put them in a raised garden outside my kitchen window under the camelia trees. They have not stopped flowering for 2 years, summer, winter, just pretty flowers, a score.

I have around 2 dozen little cyclamen growing in my greenhouse. They were grown from seeds I took from a plant growing on my windowsill. I give the small plants to friends and family who visit.

I'm not talking about the lovely little mini cyclamen, It's one of the larger flowering variety. The ones that I always killed years ago by watering from above. I know better now, and had flowers non stop since May, but now it's just the greenery.
I could chuck it out and buy new next year, or I could do what someone tells me is the best. I thought the advice above sounded more like mini's. I have carried THEM over for three years now, very successfully too, I might ad, and at the moment have a range of colours with more still to flower
