This little plant is invaluable as a ground cover and in the rockery. It makes a good container plant. It is also used as a medicinal plant in Chinese medicine being one of the 50 fundamental herbs used. Several phytochemicals have been identified from the dried root [Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutellaria_baicalensis].
This plant is an easy care one , which has narrow green leaves, and lovely bright purplish blue flowers. The plant likes it hot and dry, but doesn’t do well in moist warm temperatures.
