Description
Lunaria annua is a great classic in the garden, cultivated for the beauty of its pearly white seed pods, it produces an abundance of equally decorative purple-violet flowers in early spring. Also known as money plant, moonwort and honesty, the Lunaria annua is not an annual as one might think, but a biennial.
The first year, it produces a basal rosette of dark green triangular leaves. It is only in the second year that a flowering stem, 1m (3.3 ft) in height, blooms and bears at its top a generous cluster of violet flowers with 4 cross-shaped petals. It blooms in early spring, from March to May. This is followed by abundant fruiting; the fruits called siliques, are flat and round, measuring 4-5cm (1.6 - 2 in) in diameter and consist of 3 translucent membranes with large brown seeds. Once the seeds are dispersed, the faded stems make beautiful dried bouquets.
Easy to grow, the money plant thrives in partial shade, in rich, moist and deep soils. Grow it under tall trees or in semi-shaded beds, along with bulbous plants, hyacinths, daffodils or grape hyacinths. Let it self-sow in the garden or manually disperse the seeds in your beds, so you can keep it from year to year.
Note: Attention, our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant them as soon as possible, in pots, containers or directly in flower beds.

Planting and care
Grow the 'Money Plant' in partial shade in a rich, moist, and deep soil. As a biennial plant, the Lunaria easily self-seeds as long as you don't cut the flower stalks. However, if it becomes invasive, trim half or even three-quarters of the flower stalks to limit seed spread.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
