Money Plant Seeds

Money Plant seeds (Lunaria annua or Lunaria biennis) grow into attractive, biennial plants. They are best known for having distinctive seed pods, which are shaped like coins. These pods and the plant itself are also called Silver Dollar or Honesty. Money plants enjoy direct sun and are tolerant to partial shade, thriving in well-drained soil. They are resistant to drought once they root well. Their unique appearance makes them popular in dried form, so they’re often used in flower arrangements and interior decoration.

INTRODUCING MONEY PLANT SEEDS

Money Plants, or Lunaria annua, are cherished for their captivating aesthetic. They are also believed to bring prosperity and luck to a home or even a garden. Their flat seed pods, resembling coins, have given rise to myths of financial fortune. Beyond ornamental use, the purple flowers of the silver dollar plant are very pretty and attract pollinators.

PLANTING MONEY PLANT SEEDS

Sow the Money Plant seeds directly to the garden in fall or spring. These seeds will need light to germinate. The best way to plant them is to press them gently onto the soil surface, without covering them. Water the planting area regularly to maintain soil moisture until seedlings emerge. This will usually be within two to three weeks.

MAINTAINING MONEY PLANT PLANTS

Money Plants are easy to care for, and demand little maintenance once they root. They handle drought periods well, generally needing minimal water. The plants can be thinned to about a foot apart to allow sufficient space for their growth. After flowering, money plants produce the expected seed pods. Harvest these pods immediately to prevent self-seeding, as they can quickly take over a garden. They can then be harvested for drying, or left in the garden to self-seed for future growth.

Growing Money Plants is a rewarding experience. Watching the plant go through its phases is thrilling, each one interesting and beautiful to behold. Enjoy their unique beauty indoors and out when you grow your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
