Chelone lyonii - Hot Lips
A standout compact form of pink turtlehead, Chelone lyonii ‘Hot Lips’ features glossy, bronze-tinged green foliage topped with vibrant rose-pink, turtle-head shaped blooms from late summer into early fall. Growing 24–36″ tall and about 12–24″ wide, it brings bold vertical interest ideal for rain gardens, woodland borders, or moist beds. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–8, it thrives in full sun to part shade, and is adaptable to moist, organically rich soils—even tolerating occasional wet or boggy spots. Its pollinator-friendly and deer-resistant nature, along with strong stems and cutting potential, make it a reliable and attractive choice for garden performance.
