Vibrant emerald green foliage. Blue flower spikes in spring blanket the tight smaller leaves to form a dense groundcover. Good choice for banks or slopes, under trees or around shrubs. Charming when placed among stepping stones or as a planting for a rock garden design. Easy and problem free.

Ajuga are extremely hardy groundcovers that quickly form a dense carpet-like mat. Our plant spacing recommendations are based on how quickly these plants will spread in their first season of growth.
