Lunaria has fragrant flowers. It attracts bees, butterflies, and birds including HUMMINGBIRDS. While it definitely has beautiful flowers that alone make this plant worth growing, it is popularly grown for its dried seed pods (which you can see in the photos) to be used in arrangements. They are unique and have a silvery opaque appearance.

yes id did buy and receive bamboo seeds from you. i planted same and now cautiously await some indication the sprouting will begin. we are in northern nj where it is quite cold so i am keeping the plantings in a planter system we use for seedlings. only time luck and patience will tell the ultimate story. if the seeds come to be small plants we will replant into pots until spring and after that we are guardedly optimistic. thanks for the request and service. stewart a farber
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
