Perennial honesty is a woodland perennial prized for its fragrant lavender-white flowers in spring and its elegant, translucent silver seed pods that persist into winter for stunning dried arrangements. It thrives in part shade beneath deciduous trees with humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil and will naturalise readily by self-seeding. Very little maintenance is required once established, making it ideal for shady borders or woodland gardens.
