I'd like to donate some mature cyclamen plants to my local botanical garden.  Can someone suggest the best time to dig the tubers?  Some are 4 or 5 inches across.
Thank you.

Wait until the foliage dies back in early summer and lift the tubers then.

[Claire Cockcroft]

Thank you for the advice.  I can easily wait until then.  In some places in my garden right now, cyclamen are a solid green ground cover.

A couple of mixed pots.  The first one was labelled parviflorum subalpinum and appears to be mainly coum with a couple of persicum.
Seed was from the Cyclamen Society sown in November 2017.



The second is labelled cilicium.  I think some are cilicium but there's also coum there.
