Honesty ‘Crown Mix’
Approx. 50 seeds.
A beautiful mix of classic Honesty colours, ‘Crown Mix’ produces soft lavender, pink and white spring blooms followed by the iconic papery seed pods that shine like silver coins in summer. It’s a gentle, nostalgic plant that brings cottage‑garden charm, early nectar for pollinators and long‑lasting interest well into autumn.
Easy to grow and happy in sun or light shade, Honesty is ideal for borders, woodland edges and naturalistic planting. The flowers are excellent for early colour, and the seed pods are perfect for drying — they hold their shape and sheen for months. A reliable, low‑effort biennial that quietly earns its place in any wildlife‑friendly garden.
