Turtlehead (Chelone glabra)

Mimic its native wetland habitat by planting turtlehead in areas with consistently moist to wet, organically rich soil, such as along streams, pond peripheries, rain gardens, or in naturally boggy areas. Part shade is ideal, especially cooling afternoon shade in hot climates. While it can tolerate full sun, it will require significantly more watering to prevent leaf scorch and drying out.
