Ajuga reptans is a common plant related to the wild bugle, but selected for leaf colour and flower spikes. The foliage is robust, evergreen and dark green, making a good background to the upright spikes of dark blue flowers, produced throughout late spring to midsummer. Ajuga is a versatile plant, equally at home as ground cover under trees or shrubs as in a sunny flower border, and even in containers. It's especially useful as background foliage in winter containers of ivies, santolina and pansies.
Ajuga reptans 'Alba' is a pretty white-flowered variety. It's perfect for using as ground cover in shady corners, and its flowers are extremely attractive to bees. For best results grow 'Alba' in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade. Remove spent blooms after flowering. Learn more with our Ajuga reptans grow guide.
