Lunaria are one of those plants that can tolerate a little bit of cold weather which means that you can plant them earlier than more sensitive plants.

The last month that you can plant lunaria and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your lunaria may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your lunaria indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.
