TURTLEHEAD WHITE
SKU: 645-020
The name turtlehead is due to the flowers resemblance to the head of a turtle. The elegant pure white flowers are held on strong stems. Plants are drought tolerant, and easy to grow, forming tidy clumps. Chelone is a genus of perennial herbaceous plants native to North America.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 80cm, 32"
Location: Sun
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Seeds per pack: 20
Germination: Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
