I think I picked a seed pod on a hike and planted this one. I remember seeing this awesome seed pod on the hike, and I don't remember buying a plant that looked like this one. It bloomed out of a 4" pot this spring that was in my plant hospital. I thought it was a random weed, but then when it bloomed I saw a gorgeous purple bloom. This is why I like to wait a season before getting rid of a pot or plant.
I posted about it when it was blooming, and I got a response from @boomerangutang that is was an Honesty, 'Lunaria annua'
As part of the mustard family, this plant is also known as: Annual Honesty, Bolbonac, Honesty, Money Plant, Moonwort, Silver Dollar
Native to Europe
Blooms in April/May
It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade.
Can tolerate drought.
A good bee and butterfly plant.
