Also known as skullcap, due to the shape of its seeds, or the ‘upside down salvia’, Scutellaria suffrutescens 'Texas Rose' forms mounds of neat foliage. These mounds are smothered by two-lipped, deep-pink flowers from midsummer, well into autumn.

Drought tolerant, it’s an excellent choice for growing in an alpine garden or at the front of sunny borders, where its blooms are a magnet for bees and butterflies.

Grow Scutellaria suffrutescens 'Texas Rose' in well-drained soil in sun or partial shade.
