Ajuga with Pink Flowers!

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 Pink Lightning is a Hummingbird's delight. Ajuga are extremely hardy groundcovers that quickly form a dense carpet-like mat. Our plant spacing recommendations are based on how quickly groundcovers 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.

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.

All potted plant material is restricted from shipping to Idaho

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
