Scutellaria incana 'Prairie Snow' brings a calm, natural look to borders, meadows, and open woodland edges, with upright stems topped by hooded, tubular white flowers that draw pollinators in summer. The softly hairy foliage adds texture even when the plant is not in bloom, and the clump gradually expands over time in a garden-friendly way.

Plant it in full sun to part shade. You will get the strongest flowering with more sun, while a bit of afternoon shade can be helpful in hotter sites. Provide average to moderately moist, well-drained soil, and water during establishment. Once established, it tolerates short dry spells, especially where soil drains well.

Mature size is typically about 12-36 inches tall with a spread that can range roughly 12-36 inches depending on growing conditions and colony expansion. Cut stems back after flowering or leave seedheads for seasonal interest, then cut back old growth before spring. This is a solid choice for low-maintenance native plantings because it is generally unpalatable to deer and rabbits and supports garden wildlife.

Hardy in USDA Zones 5-8, it mixes well with other sun to part-shade perennials in a pollinator border, and it also looks at home in naturalized plantings where you want a refined, durable native perennial.
