Chelone obliqua

Chelone obliqua (Turtlehead) is an undeservedly uncommon plant with dark pink snapdragon flowers atop stiff upright stems, set off by dark green foliage. It’s one of the last plants to flower, late summer and into autumn, in the water garden before everything goes to sleep and is a good doer without being invasive or troublesome. The flowers are followed by attractive seed pods.

Prefers a wet or continually moist soil in sun or part shade.
