Skullcap OG (Scutellaria barbata) - live plant

Scutellaria barbata These field dug Skullcap plants are available in 1 gallon pots and as bare root. At Meeting House Farm we are plant geeks and love to grow different varieties of medicinal herbs.  This variety of skullcap has been thriving at our farm for 5 years now, even though it is marked as zones 7-10.  (We are zone 6)  We started five years ago with seed from Strictly Medicinals.   In the Garden This skullcap is perennial (zones 7-10) and grows to 18 inches. It is native to southeastern China. Flowers are similar to the lateriflora variety-  blue/purple. Plant prefers part shade to sun and moist soil.  Zones 7-10 In the Apothecary We have found that blending the barbat, helmet and lateriflora make a fantastic well rounded skullcap.  We use it to ease panic attacks, in our sleep blends, and as a general support to the nervous system.   In traditional Chinese medicine this specific variety is used for clearing heat, infection, tumors, and hepatitis.
