Marsh scullcap
Scutellaria galericulata
Marsh skullcap is a moisture-loving perennial best suited to boggy areas, pond margins, or consistently damp garden beds. It performs well in full sun to partial shade and requires regular watering to prevent the soil from drying out. This plant is a great choice for rain gardens or naturalistic wetland plantings where its delicate blue flowers attract pollinators.
