Chelone (Turtlehead)

Chelone obliqua

Chelone is a long-blooming perennial that thrives in moist conditions.

The Hot Lips variety has bronze-green foliage that turns a deeper green. The upright, red stems provide additional interest throughout the season. Looks gorgeous on its own, but plant with Bee Balm for extra beauty.
