Exclusive. 6" tall x 10-15" wide. Dark Violet colors the garden from early summer into fall with deep violet flowers. The hybrid Skullcap has a nice, tidy mounding habit, good cold hardiness and does best when planted in full, hot sun in a well-drained soil. Drought resistant/drought tolerant plant (xeric). A High Country Gardens introduction.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
6" tall x 10-15" wide. After many years of testing and selection, 'Dark
Violet' was finally introduced in 2013. This long-blooming native hybrid
Skullcap covers itself with a profusion of dark violet flowers held on
short compact flower spikes. Blooming most of the summer, its neat
mounding habit makes 'Dark Violet' a perfect choice to plant along the
edges of hot, sunny paths. The hotter and harsher the growing
conditions, the better it performs. Well-drained, low fertility soil.
Plant with Salvia greggii, Coreopsis, Lavender.
