About the Ajuga - Bronze
Beauty :
The Ajuga ‘Bronze Beauty’, Ajuga reptans, is a
useful ground cover with short spikes of blue
flowers. The foliage is evergreen in most regions
and has an attractive bronzy-brown shade that
quickly forms a low carpet of medium-sized rounded
leaves. ‘Bronze Beauty’ will perform well in tubs or
mixed containers and makes a beautiful ground cover.
The flowers appear in late spring on 4” spikes and
spreads of 12-18”. Ajuga ‘Bronze Beauty’ will do
best in a shaded area but will adapt to morning sun,
the foliage colors will be more vivid with morning
sun.
Bronze Beautys prefer moist soil with a good
drainage but will tolerate moderately dry areas. Do
avoid soggy conditions. This Ajuga looks great in
rock gardens, as a border plants and mass plantings.
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, Ajuga
is the way to go
