About the Ajuga -
Chocolate Chip :
The Ajuga ‘Chocolate Chip’, Ajuga x 'Chocolate
Chip', is a useful ground cover with short spikes of
blue flowers. This Ajuga has unusually narrow
foliage of dark green, overlaid with
chocolate-brown, forming a very low clump. It is
most noted for its dwarf habit and its chocolate
foliage. The flowers appear in spring and are 4” in
height with a plant width of 12-18”. It is not as
invasive as most other Ajuga and best-planted 6-9”
apart for a quick cover.
Ajuga ‘Chocolate Chips’ will do best in a shaded
area but will adapt to morning sun. It prefers moist
soil with a good drainage but will tolerate
moderately dry areas. Avoid soggy conditions. Ajuga
‘Chocolate Chip’ looks great in rock gardens and in
front of borders and in containers. Butterflies and
hummingbirds are attracted to Ajuga, not to mention
being deer resistant and a low allergen. If one is
looking for a perennial ground cover to exceed in a
hard to grow shady area, Choclate Chip Ajuga is the
way to go
