Grow your own Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora)—a traditional medicinal herb known for its calming, restorative qualities and graceful summer blooms. Also called American Skullcap or mad dog skullcap, this North American native is a resilient perennial from the mint family that adds both beauty and purpose to your herb garden.
Adaptable & Easy to Grow
Skullcap thrives in moist, well-drained soil but adapts to a wide range of light and soil conditions once established. Reaching 1–3 feet tall, it produces delicate tubular blue flowers from late spring through autumn. This hardy plant is a dependable choice for herb gardens, wellness plots, or pollinator spaces, offering both ornamental charm and traditional herbal value.

Long valued in herbalism for its soothing and restorative properties, skullcap is commonly used in teas, tinctures, or extracts. The leaves and stems are harvested and dried to make relaxing herbal blends that may support calm, rest, and overall well-being.
