50 Seeds Pink Turtlehead Chelone obliqua Perennial Flower

Pink Turtlehead (Chelone obliqua) is a clump-forming perennial prized for its snapdragon-like blooms in shades of rose-pink to magenta. Blooming from late summer into early autumn, this hardy plant brings a late-season burst of color to borders, rain gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Its upright, bushy habit and glossy green foliage make Pink Turtlehead a welcome accent near ponds, streams, and moist beds, where it pairs nicely with ferns and asters. The blossoms draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and the plant works well in mixed perennial borders and cottage-style gardens.
