Lunaria annua ‘Rosemary Verey’

(Honesty, Silver Dollar Plant)   Heirloom biennial from Grandma’s garden, compact mounds of heart shaped leaves generously mottled with dark purple topped tall wands of fragrant magenta flowers in mid spring followed by stems of flat papery pearl seedpods the size and shape of silver dollars…these can last for years in dried arrangements! Sun to part shade, prefers moisture but survives some dry shade. Self-sows.  Attracts bees, hummers and butterflies.
