Chelone - Obliqua, 1 Pack
Chelone - obliqua
A statuesque, clump-forming perennial, Chelone obliqua—commonly called Twisted Shell Flower or Pink Turtlehead—boasts upright spikes of dusky deep-pink, two-lipped, turtle-head-like blooms. Reaching 24–36″ tall and spreading 12–24″ wide, it fills rain gardens, borders, and woodland areas with vertical interest from late summer into fall. The dark green, lance-shaped foliage remains attractive all season, and the blooms draw butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds while being largely ignored by deer and rabbits. Preferring moist, rich soil in full to partial shade, it's adaptable yet dramatic in any temperate perennial garden.
