Lunaria rediviva
Lunaria rediviva, known as perennial honesty,[1] is a species of plant in the cabbage family Brassicaceae. This hairy-stemmed herbaceous perennial is found throughout Europe. It often grows in damp woods on lime substrates. Growing up to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall, it has large, pointed oval leaves with marked serrations. Clusters of fragrant, pale pink flowers are borne in spring, followed by translucent oval seedheads, often used in flower arranging.[2] It is cultivated as a garden plant, and has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2] The Latin specific epithet rediviva means "growing again", "reviving",[3] in reference to its perennial habit, which distinguishes it from its biennial or annual cousin, Lunaria annua.
