Turtlehead

Turtlehead is one of our favorite perennials at One Love Farm. We planted it next to the driveway so we can see it all the time. It has glosssy green leave most of the year, but the explosion of pink blossoms in September is what we look forward to.

Turtlehead can be grown in shade or sun. We have ours in full sun, but if you grow it in shade, pinch the plant back to keep it from getting too leggy. Turtlehead likes moist soil with lots of composted leaves. That said, we don't regularly water our turtlehead and it has done well for many years.
