Description
A deciduous, perennial herb with a clump-forming habit, whose sinuous form is defined by arched stems bearing, from late spring to early summer, numerous pink and white flowers with a characteristic heart-shaped form, which give it the common name ‘Heart of Mary’. Suitable for flowerbeds and borders, including in combinations with other ornamental plants of varying growth habits and heights, provided they too require partial shade, in order to create perspective views of high landscape value.
