Sometimes called downy skullcap, this plant likes part sun and is very hardy, spreading by seeds and rhizomes. Odd, small, tubular blue-purple flowers attract many pollinators, especially bumblebees.
The fruit of the Hoary Skullcap is a 2 parted capsule containing nutlets. The top portion of the capsule falls off to release seeds while the bottom section stays on the plant
