Burgundy Glow Ajuga

The Burgundy Glow Bugleweed is a tough and reliable groundcover plant that grows almost anywhere, all across the country. It has low-growing evergreen rosettes of leaves that are burgundy-pink in spring, mid-green with white borders in summer, and bronzy-red in winter. Often all colors are visible at the same time. In early spring short stems rise up, carrying bright, violet-blue flowers that are spectacular when covering a mass planting. Grow this plant anywhere in your garden you have bare earth, beneath shrubs and trees, and in those awkward bare strips along fences and walls.

• Attractive year-round foliage of burgundy-pink, green and white
• Forms a low dense carpet of leafy clumps
• Spectacular mass-effect of blue flowers in spring
• Very adaptable to both light and climate
• Only slowly spreading and easily controlled

Almost all light levels suit the Burgundy Glow Bugleweed – from full sun to light full shade. It grows best in moist, well-drained richer soils, but it is very adaptable and grows happily in all but the driest spots, and even in wet ground in less humid zones. It is normally untroubled by pests or diseases and deer leave it alone. A quick trim with a lawn mower or shears after flowering is the most care needed, and that is optional. Although it can spread a little it isn’t considered a problem invasive plant.
