Chelone glabra (White Turtlehead) is an erect, clump-forming perennial with showy, dense terminal spikes of two-lipped, white or pink-tinged flowers from late summer into fall. Blooming for 3-4 weeks, the hooded flowers are shaped like turtle heads just emerging from the shell, hence the common name. Attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, they rise above a bushy mound of dark green foliage that remains handsome all season long. The coarsely-toothed, lance-shaped leaves, 8 in. long (20 cm), are arranged in pairs along the stems. A very pretty Chelone species.
