Hot Lips Turtlehead (Chelone lyonii 'Hot Lips') is a vibrant perennial known for its unique, snapdragon-like pink flowers that bloom in late summer to early fall. Growing 2-3 feet tall and wide, this plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. It’s an excellent choice for gardens in USDA zones 3-8, especially near water features or in rain gardens. The Hot Lips Turtlehead adds a pop of color to late-season gardens and attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, while being deer-resistant and low-maintenance.
