Lunaria Seeds - Flower Plant for Home Gardens

Lunaria, commonly known as money plant or honesty, is a biennial flowering plant valued for its upright growth and distinctive seed pods. It produces clusters of purple to white flowers followed by flat, translucent seed discs that remain decorative after drying. This plant adapts well to temperate climates and grows best in well-drained, moderately fertile soils with consistent moisture. Lunaria performs well in partial shade to full sun and is suitable for borders, woodland gardens, and naturalized planting. It establishes readily from seeds and may self-seed under favorable conditions.
