Honesty

Honesty, also called money plant, is easy to spot in the garden. It produces fascinating seedpods, about the size of large coins, that have a translucent shimmer to them. It also boasts fragrance and plenty of old-fashioned charm, making it a favorite for cottage gardens. Its sturdy stems, clothed with oval- or heart-shape leaves sometimes rimmed in white, are topped with clusters of white or reddish-purple flowers. The distinctive flat round or elliptic seedpods follow and later reveal a silvery membrane within.

Honesty is not fussy about soil and usually self-seeds to come back year after year.
