Description

Chelone glabra L., White Turtlehead Wholesale Native Bare Root Perennials 

This smooth plant has tight terminal clusters of white (often lavender-tinged) tubular, 2-lipped flowers resembling turtle heads. White turtlehead, a robust perennial, usually grows 1-4 ft. tall. Its erect stems end in spikes of white to pinkish flowers, the shape of which suggests a turtle head. The leaves are elongate and arranged opposite each other along the stem.

The distinctive shape of this flower is reflected in the genus name, derived from the Greek chelone (“a tortoise”).
