All about the Chelone

Chelone, also known as turtle flower, is a beautiful flower that is perfect for florists looking to add a robust and eye-catching plant to their range. This flower is characterised by its dense clusters of pink or white flowers, which resemble the head of a turtle, hence the name.

Chelone is particularly suitable for floral arrangements thanks to its long flowering period and sturdy, upright stems. It is an ideal plant for both cut flowers and garden borders. Moreover, Chelone is very low-maintenance; it thrives best in moist, well-drained soil and in semi-shade, allowing it to be placed in both sunny and shady gardens.
