$7.99
This is a taller and slender-looking perennial that has white/white-pink turtlehead flowers in August to September. Grows into narrow, upright clumps that slowly spread by rhizomes.
The best uses are in shade gardens, woodland gardens, bog gardens, naturalized in wet meadows, banks of ponds, water bodies, streams or even in moist flower beds or pollinator gardens. White turtlehead can flop in rich soils and too-shady areas, so it's best if there are other taller plants around to support it. The "Chelsea Chop" (cutting back in early May) will make the stems shorter and sturdier.
Blooming Time: August to September
Size: 3' tall x 1-1.5' wide
USDA Zones: 3 to 8
Culture: half shade, full sun with consistent moisture
Moisture Needs: medium, moist to wet
Origin: native wildflower to the eastern part of the USA, where it naturally occurs in moist woods, swampy areas and along streams (see the USDA distribution map)
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: bumblebees, beetles, flies and the beautiful Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly; the bitter leaves are host to the caterpillars of 2 moths
Attracts Hummingbirds: yes, occasionally
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot
