I have a hardy cyclamen in a pot in the shade and it's thriving. During summer the tuber was brown and dormant. For my zone do I just leave it outside all year? When do I fertilize and when will it bloom?

Are you thinking of planting it in the ground? I think some of the hardy cyclamen can take a zone 6.

Depends which kind of cyclamen you have. I have C. hederifolium which is dormant in summer, then gets leaves and blooms late summer/fall, but C. coum blooms late winter/spring. Both are hardy in your zone in the ground but I am not sure about a pot, if you have another super cold winter I suppose it might not make it.

I don't want it spreading so no.

Hmm - I'm not sure I'd leave it outside in a pot above ground over winter.
