Bronze Beauty Ajuga forms a dense low mat of glossy, evergreen leaves, just a few inches tall. It is an ideal groundcover almost everywhere, the perfect solution to those difficult spots where you need a low carpet to soften and brighten a corner. The leaves are bronzy-green, making this variety perfect when you don’t want the deep reds of many other bugleweeds. Bronze Beauty Bugleweed has the richest blue flowers of all too, making a fabulous look in spring when they rise in 9-inch tall spires. Grow it beneath shrubs or trees, edging paths or in the cracks of paving, or anywhere you need a trouble-free groundcover plant.
Bronze Beauty Ajuga will grow in full sun in cooler zones, and it’s hardy even in zone 3. Grow it also in partial shade and in light full shade – just not in the deep shade beneath low-hanging evergreen trees. It grows in almost any soil, preferring some moisture, but it is so tolerant it will grow just about anywhere. Deer and rabbits won’t eat it, and it isn’t generally bothered by pests or diseases. You can mow down the flower spikes when they finish, if you want – otherwise it needs no care or attention at all.
