Turk's Cap

Turk's Cap can play many roles in your landscape. It blooms in sun or shade from early spring to late summer and support birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Put it in a flowerbed or let it grow big as a bush along a wall or fence.

In the winter it loses its leaves and looks dead but comes back in the spring. Plant it next to some evergreen plants for year-round appeal.

The Turk's Cap White-Skipper butterfly is named for this plant because its caterpillars will only eat Turk's Cap leaves.

 Turk's Cap is red in the wild. The "Pam's Pink" variety is a hybrid version with pink flowers that still provide nectar to pollinators.
