Scutellaria resinosa | Sticky Skullcap | 20 Seeds

Scutellaria resinosa, also known as sticky skullcap or resinous skullcap, is a low-growing herbaceous perennial native to the eastern and southeastern regions of the United States. This unique and unassuming plant is distinguished by its resinous, sticky leaves, which help it retain moisture in arid conditions. In the late spring and early summer, it produces clusters of tubular, violet-blue flowers, which stand out against its green foliage. Sticky skullcap typically thrives in sandy or well-draining soils and can be found in pine savannas, sandhills, and dry, open woodlands. It is well-adapted to drought-prone environments, making it a resilient addition to native plant gardens and xeriscaping projects. While not as well-known as some other skullcap species, Scutellaria resinosa contributes to local biodiversity, serving as a valuable nectar source for pollinators and adding to the ecological richness of its natural habitat.  Zones 4-8 Germination Germinating Scutellaria resinosa see
