Description
Pink Turtlehead is a vibrant perennial for Massachusetts gardens, especially in moist or partially shaded areas like rain gardens and woodland edges. From late summer to mid-fall, it produces spikes of unique rose-colored, hooded flowers that resemble turtle heads. Its serrated dark green leaves provide a rich backdrop to the cheerful blooms.
This upright grower adds structure and late-season color to borders and naturalized areas. Pink Turtlehead spreads moderately and benefits from early spring cleanup to maintain its tidy habit. Disease resistant and attractive to pollinators, Pink Turtlehead is a hardy and rewarding perennial for New England landscapes that crave bold color and easy care.
