Growing Money Plant (Lunaria): Biennial Beauty for Spring Blooms and Silvery Pods

Money plant (Lunaria annua) is a biennial: sow seeds in spring or summer, and also in fall for staggered blooms. Plants grow foliage the first year, flower and produce silvery seed pods the second. Cold stratification improves germination. Once established, it self-seeds readily. Purple spring flowers are attractive; pods are fun for children's play.
