Ajuga

Also known as "carpet bugle," ajuga is a lovely perennial with beautiful leaves.  We have a few varieties including 'Chocolate Chip, Burgundy Glow and Black Scallop.

'Black Scallop'

Ajuga 'Black Scallop' is an herbaceous perennial with bluish-purple flower spikes that can grow 8-10" tall and they attract butterflies.  They leaves are as pretty (if not prettier) than the blooms with bronze-blue foliage with moderate growth rate.  Foliage grows 3-6" tall and grow a dense,  carpet-like mat.  They like moist soil but not soggy and they are easily propagated.
