White Turtlehead is named for its distinctive flowers which are said to resemble a turtle's head. The distinctive shape of this flower is reflected in the genus name, derived from the Greek chelone ("a tortoise"). This wetland plant will strongly prefer wet to moist soils in full to mostly sun. The blooms are pollinated mostly by bumblebees, which have the size and strength to pry open the bloom and reach the nectar inside. This smooth plant has tight terminal clusters of white (often lavender-tinged) tubular, 2-lipped flowers resembling turtle heads. White turtlehead, a robust perennial, grows 1-4 ft. tall. Its erect stems end in spikes of white flowers, the shape of which suggests a turtle head. The leaves are elongate and arranged opposite eachother along the stem.Plant CharacteristicsDuration: PerennialHabit: HerbFlower:Size Class: 3-6 ft.Bloom InformationBloom Color: WhiteBloom Time: Jul , Aug , SepGrowing ConditionsLight Requirement: Sun , Part Shade , ShadeSoil Moisture: Moist , WetSoil pH: Acidic (pH<6.8)Soil Description: Light, rich, wet to moist soils.BenefitConspicuous Flowers: yesAttracts: Butterflies , HummingbirdsLarval Host: Baltimore Checkerspot (Euphydryas phaeton).Shipping Information:We only ship Mon-Tues so that your plants don't get stuck in the mail over the weekend.
