WHITE MONEY PLANT (Lunaria Biennis) - I don't know which I like more, the white flowers in the spring or the flat, translucent, round, papery seed cases in the fall? Money Plant seeds are grown for both features! Lunaria puts on a big show of white blooms in the spring, and the seed cases can be left on the plant for fall and winter appeal, or the seed cases also can be preserved for use in dried arrangements and crafts. This plant has the common names of Honesty plant, Silver Dollar plant, Moonflower and Silver Pennies. Money Plant is technically a biennial. This means that after the flower seed is sown, the first year will produce foliage and the second year will produce the flowers and the pods. After flowering, the plant will typically die. However, it easily re-seeds itself once it is established, and will continue to produce a display each year. Sow Money Plant seeds directly outdoors in the spring. Cover the flower seed lightly and keep moist. Money Plant forms a long tap root, so it is best to start the flower seed directly outside in a prepared seedbed. Thomas Jefferson grew these plants at his extensive gardens at Monticello. Easy to grow from seeds. Pretty much carefree after established. Also, will do well in deep containers. 50+Seeds per order. Thank You!
