Scutellaria 'Appalachian Blues' is a lovely hybrid of two natives - Scutellaria ovata and Scutellaria serrata.
This medium-height, pollinator friendly, perennial displays large, delicate, purple and white flowers.
Young leaves often have black hue. Forms non-spreading clumps.
A great addition to shady gardens.
Blooming Time: late spring - summer (blooms for about 6-8 weeks)
Size: 24" tall and 20" wide
USDA Zones: 4-9
Culture: Shade, partial shade or mostly sun. Average to well-drained soil with some organic matter.
Moisture Needs: dry to medium moisture.
Origin: Seed selection of naturally occurring hybrid of two native species : Scutellaria serrata (Showy Scullcap), native to southeast and northeast of USA (see BONAP distribution) and Scutellaria ovata (Heart-leaf Skullcap), native to eastern half of USA (see BONAP distribution map). Visually reminds more of S. serrata. Selected by Peter Heus, introduced by the North Creek Nurseries. Plant is patented under PP34.854.
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: Usually, due to its bitter leaves/rabbits may nibble on young shoots
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: Yes/yes
Attracts Hummingbirds: Possibly
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot
Combinations: Can handle some sun, but looks better in woodland edge / partially shaded gardens, in shaded gardens, pollinator gardens, and along woodland edges. Would go well with most of ferns, wild ginger, or hellebores or Hosta. Other great companions can be Aconitum, Aquilegia, Geum, Epimedium, Gillenia (Porteranthus), Heuchera, Lathyrus vernus, Polygonatum, Primula, Lobelia, Ligularia, woodland Peonies, Stylophorum, spring bulbs and native spring ephemerals (Sanquinaria, Trillium, etc.) and grasses like Diarrhena, Luzula, Hakonechloa, Sesleria or Carex (sedges).
