About the Ajuga -
Mahogany Bungleweed :
The Ajuga , Mahagoney Bugleweed, Ajuga reptans
Mahogany, is a robust Ajuga with a flat trailing
habit and shiny, short-stemmed leaves. The lush,
almost black-burgundy, glossy leafed foliage will
turn to a deep rich Mahogany color and turns even
darker and more lustrous during the winter months.
Mahagany Bugleweeds display lovely bright blue
flower panicles in the spring.
This Ajuga does best in fertile, well-drained
soil. A site in morning sun and afternoon shade, or
in filtered light allows this ajuga to really look
its best. It is excellent when used for borders and
in mixed containers, as well as in areas where grass
is shade-challenged. Fast grower. Space 6-12" apart
when used as a groundcover
