Violet Skullcap (Scutellaria resinosa x suffrutescens ‘Dark Violet’) is the ultimate “plant it and forget it” groundcover for Central Texas.   Reaching only about 6-10 inches tall, it creates a dense mat of tiny, deep purple blooms that thrive in the summer heat.  Whether you’re filling gaps in a rock garden or looking for a deer resistant border plant, the Violet Skullcap is a drought tolerant showstopper that stays green and vibrant when other plants retreat.

Plant this pollinator favorite in your xeriscape landscape paired with Gregg’s mistflower or Salvia greggii or pop in a container.  You can’t go wrong.   And bonus- it’s an excellent hummingbird plant!  They love it!
