Bugleweed

About this plant

Ajuga reptans Chocolate Chip, commonly known as Bugleweed, is a highly desirable perennial groundcover celebrated for its unique, rich chocolate-brown foliage that creates a dense, carpet-like effect. This cultivar features smaller, more refined leaves than other Ajuga varieties, offering an exceptionally neat and tidy appearance while producing charming spikes of deep blue-purple flowers in spring that attract early pollinators. Ideal for filling in bare spots, enhancing garden beds, or as an attractive lawn substitute in low-traffic areas, 'Chocolate Chip' Bugleweed is a robust and stylish choice for both contemporary and traditional garden designs.

Care & maintenance

Bugleweed is remarkably low-maintenance. Once established, it requires minimal care. Remove spent flower stalks if desired, and divide overcrowded clumps in spring or fall to maintain vigor. It can spread enthusiastically, so consider its placement carefully or use edging to contain its growth.
