Well, Margaret, as Claire asked, do you mean C. persicum (the
non-hardy one readily available) or one of the hardy sorts? I have a
ton of white C. persicum blooming away madly right now. If you want
one, email me privately.
As for the hardy sorts. That would be C. hederifolium or C. coum,
probably. Ellen Hornig has managed to isolate a nearly pure white C.
coum from the hundreds of seedlings she grows, but as far as I know,
there's not enough of it for her to offer in her list at Seneca Hill
Perennials.

She does grow and offer lots of cyclamen - has pix of the nearly
white C. coum up on her site on the cyclamen gallery. Ellen is my
main source of cyclamen plants in the US.
C. hederifolium regularly turns up with white flower forms. I have a
Cyclamen creticum in bloom in the greenhouse now - white flowers, but
not hardy in most of the US.
For more information and pix on these charming plants, visit the
Cyclamen Society web site:
