Money Plant, or Lunaria is known for its silvery, white seed pods that resemble coins of the realm.It is a biennial. Clusters of lavender flowers bloom in the spring, and the flat seed pods form the second summer. The coin-shaped pods are beautiful in dried arrangements.
To dry the pods, simply cut when they are fully developed, gather them into a bunch, and hang upside down in a place where the air circulates well until they are completely dry, usually two to three weeks. The brown husks on the sides of the seed pods can be removed by gently rubbing the pod between your thumb and finger.
