Baikal Skullcap - Sustainably Grown

seeds
Scutellaria baicalensis
Open pollinated.

Perennial to Zone 4. Beautiful little perennial with myriad small violet monkshood-shaped blooms on a 1–2' subshrub. Looks like a shiny rosemary with slender ovate leaves. A definite candidate for the rock garden, it tolerates drought and grows best in light well-drained soil.Important as the Chinese herb huang qin, 3–4 year roots are dried and used as a bitter cooling sedative that lowers fever, blood pressure and cholesterol levels while stimulating the liver; also used to stop bleeding. To encourage the roots’ optimal medicinal powers, pinch buds and don’t let flowers bloom. About 250 seeds/g.
