Ajuga reptans
Bugleweed
Fast growing groundcover for moist, shady
areas. In spring, 4-6” tall bluish-purple dense, spikey flowers create a sea of color.
Foliage is a mix of glossy light green, dark green, purple and bronze. Surface runners root to create a matt of foliage. Extremely wet conditions will cause crown to rot,
while prolonged, dry conditions
will result in dieback.
Attracts bumblebees.
