 | Ajuga reptans ‘Arboretum Giant’ |
| Common name : Carpet Bugle |
| |
| Also known as Bugleweed, there are many selections, used widely as groundcovers for shady gardens. This is one of the largest-growing varieties, forming a vigorous clump of deep green spinach-like leaves, with the thinnest pencil-line of deep purple around the edge. Spikes of blue flowers in spring. Excellent for edging. Combines beautifully with spring flowering bulbs, particularly yellow tulips or daffodils. Plants prefer a rich, moist soil, but will tolerate short periods of summer drought. Easily divided in spring or early fall. Evergreen.
