Lunaria annua ‘albo marginata’ (Honesty, Silver Dollar) Brassicaceae David Feix, Berkeley This is a commonly grown plant in the usual form, but not often seen with the white-edged leaves. This may be the form called ‘Haslemere’ although the description doesn’t quite fit. In spite of the name “annua”, it is actually a biennial, the variegation showing the second year. The septum of the 0.75 inch seed pod gives it the generic name, as it is round and silvery - like the moon. I grew the usual form when I was in my early teens, apparently shortly after it was introduced to the U.S. Native to Central and Southern Europe; there is also L. rediviva, which is perennial. The flowers are purple-red.
