Yes, Lunaria are biennials, so the self sown seedlings will bloom next year. I always have some blooming every year. If you have seedlings, and if you have blooming plants, watch your blooming plants and they will drop their seed when they are ripe. Those dropped seeds will be next year's seedlings. The seedlings you have now will be next year's blooming plants. So if you feel you need more plants than what will fall from your blooming plants this season, then sow your saved seed, about the time the blooming plants drop their seed and you should be all set. I hope that is clear.

One of my favorite plants!! And the easiest.

Thanks, Prairiemoon! What I have are only seedlings, so it looks like, left to nature, I will be on an every other year schedule! Assuming they are still fresh enough to germinate then, IâÂÂll try sowing last fallâÂÂs saved seeds this fall, in the hopes of getting some blooming every year. IâÂÂll have to find out what the correct time is.

Oh, I still wanted to know about transplanting them? I have not had much luck with transplanting seedlings of perennials or biennials. I tried some foxgloves and ligularia while at a small size last year and none of them made it. Yet I obtained them in a plant swap, so somebody is doing it right. Do they need to be nursed a long in a pot til bigger? That way I could monitor watering more. Or just left in situ until bigger?

They transplant easy when small, give it a try. Over the years you should end up with blooming plants every spring.... not all seeds sprout each year, some are too small to bloom after the first year....
