Ajuga reptans “Burgundy Glow’

One of the most beautiful and useful groundcovers for sun or shade. This exciting new Ajuga will charm you. Burgundy glow ajuga has stunning tri-colored foliage with a mixture of mint-green softly edged in cream and is further enhanced by burgundy purple tints. Showy blue flower spikes blanket the foliage late spring into early summer.

The crinkly tri-colored leaves hold their color all year and shine in the shady border. With a name like bugleweed or carpet bugle, you know it’s a tough plant for difficult spots. It will slowly form weed smothering mats that provide multi-season appeal.

As with all ajugas, keep them well watered during dry spells the 1st year. Once established they are pretty drought tolerant, making them a problem solver in those dry shady places that nothing else seems to grow in. It’s deer-resistant and a Spring delight for butterflies, bees and hummers.
