Product Details

Ajuga reptans, also known as bugleweed or carpet bugle, is a low-growing perennial from the Lamiaceae family. It forms dense mats of decorative foliage, with glossy leaves that can range in color from deep green to bronze or purple, depending on the variety.

In spring—and sometimes into early summer—it produces upright spikes of small violet-blue flowers, though some cultivars offer pink or white blooms. It's highly valued as a ground cover, especially in shaded areas where other plants may struggle, and it also helps prevent soil erosion.

Easy to grow, it prefers moist but well-drained soils and partial shade, though it can tolerate some sun. It spreads by runners (stolons), making it ideal for natural gardens, path edges, or under trees. It attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies and requires little maintenance once established.
