Also called Hoary Skullcap, it provides weeks of blooms in mid-late summer. This Scutellaria is one of the showiest in the genus. The flowers do not have a noticeable floral scent. Bumblebees especially love it, but it attracts many other pollinators as well. It spreads by seeds and by its rhizomatous root system forming tightly packed colonies.
