  Masses of pretty, pure white, bell-shaped flowers appear on branched stems from July to September among heart-shaped, mid-green leaves.

• Garden care: Protect the tender foliage from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. During the growing season water freely and deadhead with scissors to prolong flowering.
