| Botanical Name | Scutellaria suffrutescens |
| Description | An exceptionally hardy perennial for Southeast Texas. Pink Skullcap is highly drought-tolerant once established and thrives in the Houston heat. It requires excellent drainage to survive our rainy seasons; while it can handle various soil types, it will perish in heavy, waterlogged clay. Amending with expanded shale or planting in raised beds/rock gardens is highly recommended. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Light Part Shade |
| Height x Width | 8-10 in. x 15-18 in. |
| Water | Low; extremely drought-tolerant once established. Do not overwater. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 (Reliable perennial in Houston) |
| Fertilization | Minimal; light application of balanced fertilizer in spring. |
| Pruning | Shear back lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain a tidy, mounded shape. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
