Could someone please ID this flower that came from a box of summer annual seeds. It's about 30 - 40cm tall with heart shaped leaves, alternating on a single stem. The small white flowers are on short branching stems.

Bump. I'm hoping that Nutcutlet or one of our other knowledgeable members can give me the answer to this.

Cool, I grew some on my allotment last year, apparently it is supposed to help break up clay.
Never looked closely at the flowers but thought the shape looked familiar.
