Description

Money Plant (Lunaria annua), also known as Honesty, Silver Dollar, or Penny Flower, is a beloved open-pollinated heirloom treasured for its dual-season beauty. In spring, it produces clusters of fragrant, four-petaled purple-to-magenta flowers that attract early bees and butterflies. By late summer, these blooms transform into translucent, coin-shaped, papery seed pods that turn a shimmering silver-white as they dry. Reaching 2 to 3 feet in height, Money Plant is an essential staple for dried floral arrangements, cottage gardens, and shady borders. It easily self-seeds to maintain a continuous display year after year.
