How to grow Money Plant {4 seeds)
Money Plant, is named for its showiest feature--its two-foot stalks of silvery, coin-shaped seedpods.
This biennial is best sown outdoors in summer, where it will bloom the following spring.
Money Plant, also known as Lunaria or the Honesty Plant, was originally native to the central and southern areas of Europe, but the plant has proliferated throughout the temperate regions of the world. It was introduced into Britain before the 1600's and was brought to the United States by the pilgrims. The plant was prized for its decorative, translucent, disk-shaped seed pods which when dried are lovely in floral displays. The plant is a member of the Mustard family. Its white, tapered roots can be eaten either boiled or raw.
Grown for the silvery white seed pods.
The plant may self seed or live for 3 years even though it is technically biennial. The flowers are reddish violet. The plant grows in shade or sun and any moist garden soil.
To dry seed pods; cut when fully developed, bunch and hang stems upside down in an airy place until completely dry, 2-3 weeks. Remove brown husks on sides of seed pod by gently rubbing between thumb and finger.
