Pink Skullcap

Great as a mass planting along a walkway or border, it benefits from early season pruning to keep its shape more compact. This plant is awesome at attracting large bumblebees, with waves of blooms from spring all the way through late fall. Although sometimes called “Texas” skullcap, this plant is actually native to northeastern Mexico. It's a low-growing, highly drought-tolerant shrub. It is quite similar in its growth habit to the Purple Skullcap that is indeed native to DFW (S. wrightii). Learn more at Master Gardeners, NC Extension Gardener, and Native Gardeners.
