When to plant money plant

Money plant (silver dollar) is a biennial grown from seed that flowers in its second year, then sets the flat, papery, coin-shaped seedpods it is prized for in dried arrangements. NCSU notes it self-seeds aggressively once established, so a single sowing tends to renew itself in the garden.

Money Plant is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
