Scutellaria Appalachian Blues PP 34854 Onoclea topped with 10" light pink

topped with 10" light pink flowers with a central red eye in late summer

These are the best pure butter yellow hellebores that we've ever seen

If you've got a horticultural know-it-all nearby

very easy to grow and simply superb in the woodland garden

but mark the plant's location well since rue anemone is usually dormant by late summer

Scutellaria Appalachian Blues PP 34854 Onoclea topped with 10" light pinkScutellaria 'Appalachian Blues' is a new North Creek Nursery introduction of a hybrid between two US native woodland skullcaps, Scutellaria serrata and ovata. The small clumps, which are similar to Scutellaria serrata, reach 1' tall x 20" wide, clothed with thumb size green leaves that emerge with a narrow black border. The deciduous clump is topped, starting for us in early May, with stalks of violet flowers that rise 4" above the mound of foliage.
