Scutellaria ovata
Skullcap, Heartleaf Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
From shale barrens in the mountains of West Virginia, comes the Heartleaf Skullcap. Forming 2-foot mounds of blue-green and green, 1 1/2 inch crinkly, heart-shaped leaves, Skullcap has mid-summer flowers, which resemble blue-lavender snapdragons, on 2 to 6 inch stems. This showy Skullcap spreads by small, thickened, underground runners, and needs excellent drainage, dry, gritty soil, and part shade. It frequently goes dormant after flowering in mid-summer thereby avoiding summer-time stresses. Other plants preferring the same conditions are Conradina, Pussytoes, Dwarf Iris, Birdsfoot Violet, and Glade Savory. Cat# 1389
