About this plant

Chelone White Turtlehead is a native perennial that thrives in partial to full shade with consistently moist to wet soil. White tubular flowers bloom on sturdy upright stems from late summer into fall, brightening shaded areas when many other plants have finished flowering. This reliable performer is excellent for rain gardens, woodland edges, and moist borders where its late-season blooms provide nectar for pollinators. The strong stems require no staking and provide excellent vertical interest.
