Description: Ajuga reptans, the wild bugle, is a robust evergreen with dark green foliage, bearing upright spikes of dark blue flowers from late spring to midsummer. Plants quickly form a low carpet of rounded, glossy leaves, making it the perfect choice for ground cover in shady borders.
Care: It does well planted beneath shrubs and in containers, as long as the soil or compost doesn’t dry out. To propagate, divide plants in autumn or spring.
