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