Ajuga is one of the most indispensable groundcovers around. It has many uses and looks great much of the year. Also known as carpetweed or bugleweed, ajuga forms a 0.15m tall mat of glossy leaves that always seem to look neat and fresh. Individual plants grow as a rosette, but they intertwine to form a solid carpet that withstands some foot traffic. Magnificent blue (and pink) flower spikes adorn plants spring to early summer.

Ajuga reptans is a compact, dense mat forming groundcover with glossy dark green foliage. Spreads by runners and sprouts a sea of squat blue flower stems in Spring. Good bee attractor and great for running along the front of garden borders or rockeries. Best in semi-shade. 

Flowering: Spring [September - December]
Fruiting:
