Chelone glabra
When to plant white turtlehead
A wetland perennial that grows in full sun to partial shade in fertile, moist soils along streams and ponds; too much shade makes it flop. Mulch to hold moisture, pinch stem tips in spring for a bushier plant, and propagate by seed or division. It blooms late summer into fall.
White Turtlehead is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
