Scutellaria (Skullcap)
at Digging Dog
Including Scutellaria alpina and Scutellaria suffrutescens
Scutellaria
Skullcap
Late in the season, after the charming hooded blooms have faded, pairs of scallop-shaped, warmly colored seed capsules, resembling small inverted skullcaps, add intriguing detail to these Mint family members. Our easy-to-grow selections appreciate a sunny, quick-draining site, and happily mingle with medium-sized Euphorbias, Diascias and Nepetas.
Yellow Alpine SkullcapThe species originates in the mountains of southern Europe and Russia, and this ‘Moonbeam’s lush and low bushy mat of scalloped, ovate green-gray leaves is an excellent foil for its crowded clusters of light yellow blooms. Trailing stems turn upward and, at their tips, Snapdragon-like flowers form a four-sided raceme.
Requiring well drained soil and shade during hot afternoons, this little treasure goes well in a container, or in the rockery with Edraianthus graminifolius and Origanum libanoticum.
Blooms May–September. Size: 10" high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 5. Scutellaria alpina ‘Moonbeam’ (p-1226)
Each $6.50

Pink SkullcapFor its tidy swath of dark pink infill, the masses of Snapdragon-like blooms adorning the diminutive, glossy green foliage of ‘Texas Rose’ get our vote. With a dainty, yet durable, low profile, it makes an endearing addition to the rockery, or along a pathway nestled amidst Dianthus ‘Mendlesham Maid’ and Geranium ‘Johnson’s Blue’.
Blooms mid-June–mid-October. Size: 4"–6" high x 15" wide; hardy to zone 7. Scutellaria suffrutescens ‘Texas Rose’ (P-0808)
Each $6.75
