Chelone obliqua Red Turtlehead is a striking perennial with rose-red blooms on tall, sturdy stems that bring early-season color to your beds. This native plant thrives in moist soils and partial shade, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators with its distinctive hooded flowers. A hardy, well-formed clump, it offers long-lasting blooms and a natural backbone to any garden display, plus pollinator-friendly charm.

Care and Watering

Chelone obliqua thrives in consistently moist, well-drained soil with part shade. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, never waterlogged, and mulch to retain moisture.

Maintenance

Deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering, divide every 2–3 years, and trim back a bit after flowering to maintain vigor and shape.

Location

Plant in a woodland-style bed or by a pond edge where it gets morning sun to dappled shade and rich organic soil.

Tips

Apply mulch, avoid harsh sun in hot climates, and monitor for powdery mildew. Providing consistent moisture supports robust Red Turtlehead growth.

Chelone obliqua pink turtlehead adds with its striking, shield-shaped flowers a sculptural touch to borders and prairie plantings. The pink to purple flowers and the sturdy silhouette provide high ornamental value from late spring to summer, perfect for enhancing color layers and texture. Pairs beautifully with grasses and other prairie varieties for a lively, natural whole.
