More About White Turtle Head

A deer resistant perennial perfect for shaded or woodland gardens with moist soil, the White Turtle Head adds striking white snap-dragon like flowers to your garden during the late summer & early Fall when color may be lacking from many other plants. Butterflies & native bees will enjoy the nectar from the 2-3' stiffly upright stalks of 2-lipped flowers resembling a turtle head. A perfect companion with Physostegia.
