Chelone glabra, commonly known as White Turtlehead, is a native perennial that features upright stems adorned with clusters of tubular, white flowers that resemble a turtle's head, blooming in late summer to fall. The plant's lush, dark green foliage provides a beautiful backdrop to the striking blooms, which attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. White Turtlehead thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or along water features. Its long-lasting flowers and dense, clump-forming habit make it an attractive addition to garden beds and naturalized areas. Chelone glabra is perfect for adding vertical interest and seasonal color to shady, moisture-rich spots.
