Planting Lunaria (Silver Dollar) Seeds for Biennial Blooms

Lunaria (money plant, silver dollar) is a biennial. Scatter seeds anytime—even now in New Hampshire. They will germinate in spring, form a low rosette the first year, and bloom the second year. For continuous blooms, scatter some seeds this fall and more next fall. After that, they self-sow reliably.

Variegated varieties (e.g., from Chiltern or Hudson Seeds) offer attractive foliage in addition to the signature seed pods.
