The only truly hardy Cyclamen are Cc.coum and hederifolium. The former flowers from now onwards and the latter from August. In warmer places C. repandum will survive outside.
Most of the ones in flower now, on sale in big outlets are forms of C persicum which is tender, dry it will stand a few degrees of frost, but not happy about it.
