Chelone glabra is a colony forming herb with an erect stem lined with opposite lance-shaped dark green leaves. Flowers are white to pinkish tubular two-lipped flowers borne in cluster atop the stem in late summer. Blooms are followed by a brown, papery seed capsule. Thrives in moist soils, particularly in shady areas, but can tolerate a fair amount of sun if soils are consistently moist.
