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.
