White Turtlehead is a native perennial growing from 2 to 4 feet in height with clusters of white flowers. Enjoy foliage of dark green toothed leaves in the spring before white flowers with touches of pink burst forth in late summer. Named for the shape of the flowers, this plant blooms from late summer to fall. It is native to areas with moist to wet soils such as streambanks, marshes, low meadows, and woodlands.
Size: Quart
Light Requirements: Full sun to part shade
Water and Soil Requirements: Moist to wet soils
Deer Resistant: Yes
Ecological benefits/uses: White Turtlehead is the larval host plant of Maryland’s state insect, the Baltimore Checkerspot. It also attracts other pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Use it in a shade or woodland garden. It is also a great addition to a rain garden, or pondside gardens. Tall plants may need support if grown in an overly shady area.
