White Turtlehead is a native, clump-forming wildflower found in moist areas along stream banks, open woodlands, fens, flood plains and marshes. The blooms appear on 6-8 inch spikes and open from bottom to top in late summer to fall.

This plant attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.

Deer Resistant! Host plant for the Baltimore Checkerspot and the Common Buckeye Butterfly.
