Heritage Perennial Profile Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.  Plant Number: 1.142.060 USDA Zone: 3 - 9  Chelone obliqua ‘Alba’ Common name :  White Turtlehead (=Chelone glabra) Turtleheads are native wildflowers that adapt beautifully to garden conditions. In this variety, plants form an upright, bushy mound of green foliage, bearing upright stems of large white hooded flowers beginning in late summer. Especially beautiful when planted next to the more common pink Chelone obliqua. Best in a moist or wet site, this also adapts well to average border conditions. Terrific at the waterside. Excellent for cutting. Showy and long lived. Attractive to butterflies. Plants are easily divided in spring.

Although attractive, the blooms of white turtlehead don't last as long as those of other turtleheads. The flowers really stand out against the dark foliage, though.; Larry Hodgson, Perennials for Every Purpose Best Selling 4th Edition Now Available! Now only $15.95 USD $17.95 CDN More info
