Lunaria (Silver Dollar)

Also known as honesty or silver dollar plants, lunaria is a great plant to get children interested in gardening. The plants grow quickly, the flowers are delightful and no child can resist those fascinating seed pods. They are also very easy to grow, they prefer a sunny location, but will grow well in semi-shade and have no particular preference for soil type. If the weather becomes too dry, they appreciate a little water, but no too much.  About the only thing a lunaria objects to is soggy feet.
