(Lunaria annua ‘Moonwort’)

Moonwort is a biennial flower that is native to southern Europe but can be commonly found growing in open woods, sand dunes, quarries, and well-drained meadows throughout the northeastern and northwestern United States. At maturity, this plant reaches the height of 2-3' and features hairy stems, serrated heart-shaped green leaves, 1/2” 4 petaled purple flowers, and paper-thin translucent fruits that are the size of a silver-dollar. This plant can be grown in a container, attracts bees and butterflies, tolerates drought, self sows, and is both edible and medicinal!
