Honesty is an important early spring food source for many insects, thanks to its abundant violet flowers. In autumn, it produces transparent, silvery-white seed pods that are excellent for floral arrangements and remain an attractive feature in the garden throughout winter. As a biennial, it flowers in its second year. Ideal for cut flower growers. Honesty is an important early spring food source for many insects, thanks to its abundant violet flowers.
