Cyclamen won't flower through the winter if that's what you mean, but any hardy species will carry its foliage all the way through.

Self-sown?
I took the easy route and bought some from Fothergills.
I also bought 150 mini plug violas for £5 and they are looking lovely at present. In fact, I've got too many!
