Bugleweed

A color breakthrough in Ajuga discovered as a chance seedling by renowned plantsman Adrian Bloom. Prolific, bright purplish pink flower spikes top the dark bronze foliage in spring. As the summer heat settles in, the nearly evergreen, glossy foliage deepens to eggplant purple. An easy to grow, durable groundcover that pollinators enjoy. Introduced by: Plants Nouveau.
