Red Turtlehead is an uncommon plant found in the Midwest and southeastern states. In Maryland it is state-rare (S2) and found mainly on the Coastal Plain.
Similar Chelone lyonii is native to the Appalachians and is popular in the garden trade.
Unlike the White Turtlehead, Red Turtlehead is not known as a larval host plant for the state-rare, Maryland state insect, the Baltimore Checkerspot (see Choukas-Bradley, in Marilandica).
There are 50 records in the project database.
