Texas Rose Skullcap

The original plant came from Plant Delights and that one must be 4ft wide and 2ft deep along the driveway. Scutellaria suffrutescens "Texas Rose' likes sunny places and hails from Mexico so give it those conditions and it will form a nice mound of rose pink flowers all summer and keep going until frost.

 

Bees visit the flowers and three offshoots from the original plant have made a great edging strip in front of the porch on the gravel driveway. I suspect well drained soil might be appreciated too.

Above this mound is easily 4ft by 2ft. Looking somewhat damaged by the harsh winter all the plants have bounced back nicely and are blooming again.

Another of these plants has intermingled with a lemon thyme, I think the thyme is winning
