Turtlehead ‘Black Ace’

Chelone ‘Black Ace’ is a late-season perennial that thrives in partial to full shade with consistently moist soil. Its crisp white snapdragon-like flowers stand out beautifully against dark green foliage from late summer into fall. This turtlehead variety is excellent for shaded borders and woodland gardens in Scarborough, tolerating wet conditions better than many perennials. The unique tubular blooms attract late-season pollinators when few other flowers remain.
