Seller's description

Specifications

May include: Close-up of a green plant with large, textured leaves and small purple flowers. The image includes the text "SKULLCAP MAD DOG" on a black background, with the words "viva la seeds" in the upper right corner.

50 Skullcap seeds (Scutellaria lateriflora) for the native North American perennial known as mad dog skullcap, with rows of tiny blue flowers loved by bumblebees.

This mint family perennial grows naturally along stream banks and moist woodland edges across much of North America. Small blue to violet hooded flowers line one side of each stem from midsummer on, and the shape of each blossom resembles a close fitting cap, which gives the plant its name. The old common name mad dog skullcap comes from its place in 18th and 19th century American folk herbalism, and the leafy tops are traditionally dried for tea. It is an easy fit for rain gardens, pond edges and partly shaded beds, and bumblebees and hummingbirds visit the blooms.

Heirloom and non-GMO.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
Direct sow in late fall, pressing seed into the soil surface. For spring sowing, mix seed with moist sand and refrigerate for 30 days, then sow on the surface or barely cover. Keep consistently moist; germination is slow and irregular, often 2 to 4 weeks or more, so be patient. Thin or transplant to about 12 inches apart in part shade to full sun. Skullcap tolerates sandy or clay soil and some drought but grows best with steady moisture. Deadhead for a longer bloom, and harvest leafy stems as flowering begins.
