Outdoors, sow Money Plant seeds in June and July for flowering the following year. Indoors, start the seeds in a soilless mix in early April and place them in an environment kept at 20°C for germination which takes 15 to 20 days. Then transfer the seedlings under lights at a slightly cooler temperature before hardening off and planting them outside once the risk of frost has passed. Plant them 30cm apart in well-drained, lightly mulched soil.
The Lunaire is a hardy biennial that brings an artistic dimension to your garden thanks to its silvery pods and fragrant flowers. It is perfect for lovers of dried bouquets or gardeners looking for an original and easy-to-grow plant.
