Hi there Keith.
So far the only true red cyclamen are the florist's cyclamen, which are not hardy.

I am trying one under a tree this year, with hellebore leaves providing a canopy, hope it winters over. I am in zone 8 so might have a chance of it making it. I will let you know. I just went out and looked at it. We have had freezing weather into the low twenties for about 2 weeks now and the plant is looking good, as are the seedlings that came up when the plant went to seed this summer.
