| Video Discription | Texas Skullcap (Scutellaria suffrutescens) is an excellent groundcover for North Texas. It's a low-growing, woody, deciduous perennial with a mounding, symmetrical growth habit. It will drop its leaves in winter, but won't die back to the ground. Instead, it'll look like a flat tumbleweed. In spring, it will leaf out on the old wood. You'll find it to be bit taller in the middle, and shorter on the edges and it will grow wider every year. Average height is 8-18 inches tall and and 24-30 inches wide. But it can grow wider if you let it. It blooms like crazy from spring through fall with a beautiful mass of rosy-red to pink snapdragon-like flowers that attract bees and butterflies. It has NO insect or disease issues, and is about as low maintenance as a plant gets. Just put it in the ground and ignore it and it will thrive on neglect. It's VERY heat and drought tolerant and needs very little water once established. This is an excellent choice for a rock garden, xeriscape, large container, or any area with little of no irrigation. Just be sure to plant it in full sun. It will take part sun, but you'll get far more blooms in full sun. The name Texas Skullcap is a misnomer as the plant is native to Mexico, not Texas.
