Scutellaria wrightii Also known as Wright's Skullcap, Bushy Skullcap, Shrubby Skullcap This charming native perennial is a wonderful pick for Texas gardens! With its lovely evergre en mounding form reaching just 6 to 10 inches tall, it fits perfectly as a delightful filler in those small bare spots of your well-drained garden beds. Plus, it's a fantastic nectar plant, showcasing beautiful light blue to violet flowers from March through July. While full sun is its favorite, it can happily adapt to bright shade as well. Purple skullcap is also a low-water-use plant, making it a great option if your soil isn’t too heavy. It can tolerate a bit of extra moisture, but it does prefer to avoid soggy roots for long periods.There are many native skullcaps and pink skullcaps (Scutellaria suffrutescens) native to Mexico.
