Last year, I had one huge heart in the cold and rainy weather, before I took in indoors before it might rot... only then did other begin to grow.
The ideal form (with the 'nipple') was in 2014, when the summer was relatively normal and my location very warm.

That seems very strange. My plant is loaded with nearly identically shaped hearts that look nothing like Nikitovka's photo.
