When to Plant Skullcap Herb Seeds?

Skullcap herb, a medicinal herb native to North America, has been used as a mild natural tranquilizer for more than 200 years. The perennial herb, a slender, heavily branched plant with blue or purple flowers, makes a great addition to any herb garden.

  1. Outside

    • The best time to plant skullcap seeds is in the early spring after the chance of frost has passed. Plant in a sunny spot with well-draining, fertile soil. Water enough to keep the soil moist and keep the area well-weeded.

    Indoors

    • It is a good option to germinate skullcap herb seeds indoors. Plant the seeds in shallow containers and refrigerate them for a week, as the seeds need a period of cold prior to germination, then move to a sunny spot. Plant the seeds in the winter so you can transplant the herb plants outdoor six to eight weeks after seeding.

    Fun Facts

    • The skullcap herb gets its name from the caplike shape of its flowers. Cherokee and other Native American tribes have long used the herb for medicinal purposes and as a ceremonial plant to induct young girls into womanhood, according to Alternative Nature Online Herbal. The herb has also been used to induce visions.
