Honesty is a traditional biennial that our grandmothers used to have in abundance in their gardens. In spring, it delights with a sea of fragrant flowers that keep company with dame's rockets or columbines. But its main charm comes in summer, when it forms seeds wrapped in beautiful oval discs.

It is precisely for these fruits that we love growing honesty here. The flowers themselves are not very suitable for cutting, so it is worth waiting for the summer harvest. The dried silvery or greenish-purple discs look gorgeous and last for many months in dried arrangements.

Growing it is not difficult, it just requires a little patience. As a proper biennial, it needs time the first year to develop so that it can fully show off its beauty the next season. You will get a low-maintenance plant that connects the garden with tradition and provides excellent material for winter crafting.
