Title: Scutellaria tournefortii
Post by: PaulM on August 11, 2011, 07:56:20 PM

I wonder if you think this is Scutellaria tournefortii, or if it is some other Scutellaria. Googling Scutellaria tournefortii turned up some similar looking plants, but nothing looking quite like my plant. It grows only about 20cm tall.

Paul,
I grow this plant under Scutelaria alpina.

My S. alpina also looks just like yours Paul. I have one that pale lemon with slight violet at the tips and another closer to violet all over the flowers, otherwise the same.

Thank you both Franz and Lesley. Does anyone know what the real Scutellaria tournefortii looks like ?

Mmmm, that's much taller than my alpina which is more or less prostrate.
