Chelone or Turtlehead adapt beautifully to garden conditions. Plants form an upright, bushy mound of green foliage, bearing upright stems of large bright-pink hooded flowers beginning in early fall. Best in a moist or wet site, this also adapts well to average border conditions. Terrific at the waterside.

Seedheads maintain the interest of the plant. Do not cut back for winter, prune in early spring. Combines well with Ligularia, Brunnera.
