Common name pink skullcap Family lamiaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers purple (late spring) Size 8" Light sun-part shade From seed Flowers first year from seed sown indoors early. detailed seed-starting info below Mounding species from Mexico, whose hardiness here is doubtful. But I'll try a new skullcap anytime – and luckily this bloomed the year I started it from seed, so that even if it doesn't survive winter, I will have experienced its charms. And it has plenty of charm: the smallest, glossiest leaves of any skullcap we've grown, which offset the rich rose flowers beautifully.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: orchard nursery area
