Lunaria annua Beautiful purple flowers in April and May that are one of the few earliest nectar attractions for butterflies - especially Orange Tips, which may also use it to lay their eggs. In spite of it's Latin name, Honesty is actually a biennial. It needs to put down a long tap root in it's first year, so can only be kept in a pot until about the end of June. This is why you never see it for sale in garden centres! Will also grow in shade.
Large mixed colour seedling plants (reddish purple, lilac & white) to flower this year now available at 3 plants for £10.50
seed for the purple variety currently available (see seeds section)
