Heart shaped leaves which can grow up to 8cm long, clothe the upright stems of this clump-forming perennial, and from late spring, these stems are topped by loose clusters of fragrant, lilac-white flowers. Once the flowers have faded, they are followed by flattened seed pods, which as they age resemble big, papery coins. If undisturbed, these will stay on the plant well into winter providing a long season of interest. Alternatively, cut them and add them to dried arrangements.
