New Species Alert! We now have White Turtlehead (Chelone glabra). This beautiful native Maine perennial has tubular flowers that resemble a turtle’s head emerging from the stalk. Grows well in full sun to part shade
and flowers in late summer continuously through fall. The White Turtlehead is the primary host plant of the caterpillars of the Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas phaeton). Bring new biodiversity to your yard by incorporating important host plants like White Turtlehead.
