Ajuga reptans 'Catlins Giant'
'Catlin's Giant' is a robust groundcover with vigorous growth and striking foliage. It forms dense mats of large, glossy, ovate leaves that range in colour from deep green to rich purple. In spring, it produces tall spikes of small blue-violet flowers that rise above the foliage, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Cultural
Thrives in a range of conditions but performs best in moist, well-drained soil and partial to full shade. It is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and effective for erosion control on slopes or banks. Deadheading after flowering helps maintain its dense form and encourages healthy growth.
Landscape Uses
This versatile groundcover forms a dense mat, making it perfect for filling gaps in borders, suppressing weeds, or cascading over the edges of containers and rock gardens.
