Details
Also known as Silver Dollars. Money Plants are biennials that are grown for their silvery white, flattened, disc-like seed pods. Plants bloom with clusters of white flowers in the second spring, and pods form afterwards. These coin-shaped pods are attractive in dried arrangements.
To dry seed pods; cut when fully developed, bunch and hang stems upside down in an airy place until completely dry, 2-3 weeks. Remove brown husks on sides of seed pod by gently rubbing between thumb and finger.
