Lunaria annua, commonly known as the money plant or honesty, is a biennial flowering plant native to Europe and Asia. It is recognized for its distinctive, translucent seed pods that resemble coins, which is how it earned its common names. The plant typically grows to about 2-3 feet tall and produces purple or white flowers in spring. This plant thrives in well-drained soil and partial shade, making it a popular choice for gardens and borders. Lunaria annua is also valued for its ornamental qualities, as the dried seed pods can be used in floral arrangements.
