Mauve pink flower spikes in mid spring are a welcome color change from the classic blue. Crinkly textured leaves of soft mint green are edged with flashes of creamy white.

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.

Ajuga General Information

Ajuga with their lush waxy leaves and vibrant blooms resemble a colorful carpet spread across the landscape. Will adapt to a wide variety of conditions except extremely wet. Will be evergreen in zones 6-9. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Ajuga Plant Care

If desired, spent flowers may be removed with hedge shears or a string trimmer for larger areas. Divide existing patches into individual rosettes in spring if clumps become overcrowded. To divide, separate rooted stems or take root cuttings in early summer.
