White flowers are followed by translucent, flattened seed heads that remain on the plant well into autumn, or if picked and dried, make excellent additions to dried flower arrangements. Lunaria f. albiflora is a charming biennial that will happily self-seed and whose flowers are highly-attractive to butterflies and bees, making it perfect for naturalising in a wild garden, meadow, or at a woodland edge. - Growing instructions: Sow the seeds straight into a well-prepared seedbed in early summer, planting approx 2.5mm deep. Thin out as soon as they are large enough to handle, replanting the extras so there is approximately 30cm between each. Pinching out the tips as they grow will encourage bushier growth.
- Sow: May to June
- Flowering: June to September
