Ajuga reptans Purpurea
Purpurea is a vibrant, low-growing groundcover with deep purple-bronze leaves accented by hints of green, creating a rich, textured appearance. In spring and early summer, it produces upright spikes of tubular, violet-blue flowers that contrast beautifully with the dark foliage.
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.
