Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

Prairie Skullcap grows in a neat mound of tight, upright stems and covers itself with stunning deep lavender-blue flowers in late spring. It grows about 8 inches tall and 10 to 12 inches wide, making it well suited to the front of a border, a rock garden, a sunny parkstrip, or along the outside edges of a stone path.
