Chelone -- Turtlehead

 

 

 

Chelone lyonii 'Tiny Tortuga'

 

Late summer and early fall is  when Chelone, commonly known as Turtlehead, shines. 

 

Chelone requires moist soil to really thrive. It grows mostly in part sun to part shade. It can also take full sun if kept consistently moist (a challenge few can meet). It grows fine in high shade too, although it tends to get leggy. It is a good candidate for use in a rain garden.
