Scutellaria resinosa is an herbaceous perennial plant in the Lamiaceae family. Its native range is from western Colorado to central Texas. Familiar names include Prairie Skullcap, Sticky Skullcap, Shrubby Skullcap, and Resinous Skullcap. It grows naturally in prairies and plains and on slopes and sandhills. It can tolerate soil compaction and poor drainage. It grows to around a foot tall from a woody stem that will die back each year. The stems and leaves are covered in hairs. The flowers are blue-purple two-lipped, and tubular and will bloom from April through October. It prefers to grow in a light shade and can handle little water, making it suitable for xeriscaping. Zones 4-8 Germination Place your seeds and some soil in a ziplock bag. Moisten the mixture enough so it sticks together without water dripping out. Write the name of the seeds on the bag. Place the mixture in your refrigerator for 60 days. Seeds can then be sown into a well-drained, sandy compost and covered lightly with sand or grit. Place the seed tray in filtered bright light and keep moist until germination.
