Skullcap OG (Scutellaria integrifolia) - live plant
Scutellaria integrifolia 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. We started five years ago with seed from Strictly Medicinals. In the Garden This skullcap is perennial (zones 5-10) and grows to 18 inches. It is native to southeastern US. Flowers are smaller than the lateriflora variety, lighter in color and more "helmet" shaped. Plant prefers part shade to sun and moist soil. Zones 5-10 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. Indigenous peoples in the southeastern US used this botanical to ease menstrual cramps and support the nervous system.
