About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Baikal skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) is a perennial herb with upright stems, opposite narrow leaves and blue-purple flowers. The two-lipped blossoms line the flowering shoots, adding rich color above the neat foliage. Its distinctive flower shape reflects its membership in the mint family.
Known as huang qin in Chinese herbal tradition, this East Asian plant combines cultural history with ornamental appeal. Its vertical flowering stems suit a mixed perennial border or herb garden, where the blue-purple blooms provide a cool contrast to warm-colored flowers.
