About the Ajuga -
Burgundy Glow :
The Ajuga ‘Burgundy Glow’, Ajuga reptans, is a
useful ground cover with short spikes of blue
flowers. This Ajuga is one of the most popular,
forming striking mounds of leaves dappled in green,
pink and cream. During the wintertime, Ajuga
‘Burgundy Glow’ develops rich bronze and burgundy
tones. It is relatively carefree, however, it can be
invasive. The flowers appear in late spring on 6”
spikes with a plant spread of 12-18”. ‘Burgundy
Glow’ should be planted 6-9” apart for a beautiful
ground cover.
Ajuga ‘Burgundy Glow’ will do best in a shaded
area but will adapt to morning sun. (The foliage
colors will be more vivid with morning sun.) It
prefers 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, in mass plantings and is great
for preventing erosion. Butterflies and hummingbirds
are defiantly 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
