A wonderful, elegant yet tough annual creeper that produces long delicate-looking stems with serrated leaves in the freshest green. First come the tiny white flowers, followed by the small 1-2cm wide seed pods, each of which produces 2 or 3 perfectly round seeds which, when mature are black all over with a perfect white heart on each seed - hence the name!
Type: Climber
Flower size: whilst the flowers are relatively insignificant, the seed pods really stand out
Plant height: 300cm

A wonderful addition for wedding work and installations as the cascading vines really make a statement with the gorgeous little pods and twirling tendrils.
