Lunaria-Commonly called Honesty or Silver Dollar Plant. I faithfully dead-head all my plants this is one I let go. I have it planted in a natural setting. It reseeds itself and is a biennial which means for the first year you get only a green plant, on the second year the plant flowers. So that I get flowers year after year I just let this plant go crazy.
Honesty likes ordinary soil, sun or semi-shade. It grown to heights of 40 incher. In the spring of the second year small purple flowers appear, after the flowers have disappeared tiny papery circles form on the plant, as the season changes these little circles become silvery colored and look like a silver dollar.
These plants are best known for their display in dried flower arrangements.
This is a great plant for children to plant. It fun to watch the seed pods change to silver dollars.
