Honesty

Honesty, Lunaria, is an old-fashioned cottage garden plant, known more for its seeds than its flowers.

The distinctive flat, translucent papery pods, which hold the dark seeds, are often used in dried flower arranging but, if left on the plant, they’re good for adding winter interest to the garden. However, the purple or white fragrant flowers in spring and early summer are very attractive in their own right and are also attractive to pollinating insects.
