Turtlehead 'Hot Lips' - Chelone lyonii

Chelone lyonii, or turtlehead, fits right into a native woodland garden, partially shaded moist location, or bog garden. On this variety, pink flowers emerge from stalks on top of the branches in late summer, and give extra color to a garden that may be tiring from summer's heat. Butterflies also enjoy the flowers. Vigorous but not invasive, the plant spreads by underground rhizomes, and forms a nice clump 2 to 4-feet wide once established.  3.25" pot Cannot ship to AZ (unless bare-root) Spread: 3' X 3', slowly spreading Cold hardiness: zones 3-8 Light requirements: partial shade Water requirements: medium
