Honesty is a biennial beauty for the part shade garden. Dainty flowers bloom heavily in spring and sporadically through summer. Large, heart shaped leaves form a nice clump. Foliage and flowers are nice, but this plant is truly grown for the gorgeous silver seed pods that persist through winter. Although this plant is a biennial, it reseeds heavily and will persist in the garden for years.
Albiflora has fragrant, white flowers.
