The Lunaria genus, commonly known as Honesty or Silver Dollar Plant, is a charming member of the Brassicaceae family. These biennials and perennials are celebrated for their clusters of fragrant, four-petaled flowers in shades of purple, violet, or white, which bloom in spring and early summer. Lunaria is particularly admired for its unique, translucent, coin-shaped seed pods that appear in autumn, adding decorative interest to dried flower arrangements.
Native to Europe and naturalised in many temperate regions, Lunaria thrives in well-drained soils and sunny to partially shaded locations. These low-maintenance plants are ideal for cottage gardens, borders, and wildflower meadows. Popular species such as Lunaria annua, or Annual Honesty, are especially valued for their dual-purpose beauty—both in bloom and through their seed pods.
The Lunaria genus combines beauty, resilience, and multi-season interest, making it a perfect choice for gardeners seeking decorative plants that support pollinators and bring timeless charm to their landscapes.
