Description

The listing, Money Plant ~ 24 HEIRLOOM seeds has ended.

Money Plant seeds (Lunaria annua) ~Also known as Silver Dollars or Honesty Plants.

Very easy to grow! These seeds are from a biennial plant that will re-seed themselves, and are mainly used in beautiful dried flower arrangements.

My plants grow wild in my wooded North Carolina lot, which has a little sun, but mostly shade.

The winner of this auction will receive 24 (Heirloom) Money Plant seeds (Lunaria annua) along with a Helpful Planting & Harvesting Information sheet.

A little Wikipedia information & history:
Lunaria annua, called honesty or annual honesty in English, is a tall (height about 1 m), hairy-stemmed biennial plant native to the Balkans and south west Asia, and naturalized throughout Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. It has large, pointed oval leaves with marked serrations. The common name "honesty" arose in the 16th century, and it may be due to the translucent seed-pods which are like flattened pea-pods and borne on the plant through winter. In south-east Asia, it is called the "money plant" and in the United States it is commonly known as "silver dollars," "Chinese money," or "Chinese coins," because its seed pods have the appearance of silvery coins. In Denmark it is known as judaspenge and in The Netherlands as judaspenning (coins of Judas), an allusion to the story of Judas Iscariot and the thirty pieces of silver he was paid.

Thank you for fanning me Fayepetteway! ~ I've Fanned you back. ツ
If you win this auction, I would suggest that you try to find a mostly shaded area to plant these little beauties. I have mine in a semi-wooded lot. I rarely water them, but if it gets a little too dry, you may want to consider watering them every now & then. ツ
