Money Plant Lunaria is a biennial. This plant is in it's second season. In Spring, after the seed from the previous year germinates, you'll see the distinct green leaves. These will send up a bloom stalk next Spring. The purple flowers will turn into the round, flat green pieces sticking out from under the flowers. These will continue to enlarge and eventually turn translucent, which is where the plant derives its name. The "money" holds the seeds for the next set of plants. I like that you never know where it will appear next as the seeds are very light and easily scattered.
There is also a white blooming cultivar.
