Pourquoi nous le cultivons

It can cover soil in a managed garden edge and provide spring flowers for insects. Its low mat fits beneath shrubs and along guild edges, helping suppress weeds and protect exposed soil.

Comment pousse la plante

Bugleweed spreads through short surface runners that root into adjoining soil. Its low leaves form a dense groundcover, with upright flower spikes in spring. Growth fills gaps gradually, and foliage often remains through winter in moderate climates. It performs best with moisture and partial shade.

Taille de la plante

Taille à maturité For common creeping Ajuga, foliage is low with flower spikes around 6–12 in.
