Skullcap

Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora)

Skullcap is a delicate and steady woodland herb, known for its small blue flowers and quiet presence along stream edges and shaded fields. Harvested at peak vitality, the aerial parts are gathered while the plant is vibrant and tender, preserving its subtle character and integrity.

Our Skullcap is grown regeneratively, following organic standards, by Power Farm Herbals in Falmouth, Maine. Plants are dried immediately after harvest in an on farm drying facility to maximize potency, preserve quality, and maintain the character of the fresh plant.

From Our Experience
Skullcap is a plant we associate with steadiness and quiet support. It does not demand attention, but rather offers a subtle presence that tends to reveal itself over time. In blends, it often plays a supportive role, helping create a sense of balance without overpowering other herbs.
