Comments:
Is grown for its papery, coin shaped seed heads that resemble oval moons. This plant is a biennial and only produces stem and foliage the first year, with flowers and fruit coming the second year and then the plant dies. It reseeds itself readily. The dried seeds are used as dried material for floral arrangements.
