Scutellaria alpina

Scutellaria alpina, commonly known as Alpine Skullcap, is a delicate alpine perennial prized for its striking violet-blue flowers and compact growth habit. This hardy plant thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it ideal for rock gardens, alpine troughs, and sunny borders. Standing 15–30 cm tall, Scutellaria alpina produces tubular flowers in summer that attract pollinators while adding vibrant color to any garden space. Its low-maintenance nature and cold tolerance make it perfect for gardeners seeking reliable alpine specimens. Best suited for cooler climates, this plant rewards careful drainage and minimal fussing with years of reliable blooms.
