Botanic information
Leaf: The broad ovate leaves have a cordate base and an acute apex. The upper surface has prominent palmate veination and the petiole is long.

Flower: The violet blue expanded funnelform flowers have 5-petals with notched pale purple spurs. They appear above the foliage on a slender reddish brown scape from spring to summer.

Fruit: The small dehiscent papery capsule splits open with 3-boat-shaped valves. It contains numerous small nut-like seeds that have a fleshy endosperm that is oily, and are commonly disbursed by ants. The small seeds are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively to maintain true to type.
