Ajuga Groundcover Seed

Ajuga Reptans

Ajuga Reptans - Low-growing ajuga thrives in partial shade and moist soil with a good drainage, but will tolerate moderately dry areas. In areas where the winter is not too severe, it stays evergreen, making it an excellent ground cover or addition to containers needing year-round appeal. Spring flower spikes and interesting foliage provide color and texture to the shade garden. Another added bonus is ajuga is deer resistant.

The ajuga ground cover has short spikes of blue flowers. During the wintertime, Ajuga Reptans develops rich bronze and burgundy tones. It is relatively carefree, however, it can be invasive. Therefore, simply plant it where it can be allowed to spread or pull up runners where you don't want this ground cover. The flowers appear in late spring on 6" spikes with a plant spread of 12-18". Ajuga Reptans will do best in a shaded area but will adapt to morning sun. The foliage colors will be more vivid with morning sun.  Try to avoid soggy ground conditions as this can lead to an unhealthy plant.This Ajuga looks great in rock gardens, as a border plants, in mass plantings and is great for preventing erosion. Butterflies and hummingbirds are defiantly attracted to Ajuga, not to mention being deer resistant. If you have allergies to plants, this is also a good choice as it is very low on the allergen scale. If your are looking for a perennial ground cover to exceed in a hard to grow shady area, Ajuga is the way to go.
