Larry, I have hardy cyclamen thriving under a biggish yew tree. The
autumn ones are looking wonderful just now, and you can get others that
flower at different times of year.
Cyclamen coum and hederifolium are hardy, provided that they remain
reasonably dry in winter. I have a superb patch in the rain shadow
under the eaves and, as you say, they do well under evergreens.
They don't like competition, and are adapted to grow and flower in
spring and autumn and go dormant in summer and winter.
Regards,
Nick Maclaren.
