HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow Money Plant seeds in early fall, planting them just below the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting; keep the soil lightly moist until germination. This seed can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting in the spring. Plant two Honesty Plant seeds in each peat pot and keep the soil moist until germination. Since these plants dislike having their roots disturbed, plant them outdoors as soon as possible after the last chance of frost.
Growing: Here's how to grow money plant seeds. Water seedlings until they become established. Mature plants also appreciate occasional watering, though they also tolerate drought. This plant usually produces only foliage in its first year, coming to its full height and blooming in the second. The flowers of this plant attract bees and butterflies. This plant usually self-sows in good growing conditions.
Harvesting: Ornamental Honesty Plant seed pods make long-lasting additions to dried flower arrangements. After the pods have completely dried on the plant, cut the stems and hang them upside down in a dry place until the entire stem is dry. If desired, carefully remove the outer layer of the seed pods to reveal the silvery inner layer.
Seed Saving: After the Honesty Plant seed pods have dried on the plant, remove them and spread them out to dry completely. Open the pods to remove the flat seeds. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place.

Beautiful when dried
It's a little early to plant in zone 6, however, I've had money plant in the past and they are beautiful when dried.Ihave some now indoors that are over 15 years old and still look great. So buy some and start them indoors to get a jump on spring.
Excellent product and service
I ordered for the first time from everwilde.com and am impressed with their speed of delivery and quality of product.
Money plant seeds
All I needed was a packet of money plant seeds. I felt that this was a good company to buy from. However, I was not happy paying so much for shipping such a small order. The actual postage on the packet in which the seeds were sent was $0.71! Yet the shipping and handling on my order was $5.50! I ended up ordering two packets of seeds in case I have trouble growing them. Needless to say, I will not be ordering from this company again
