Ajuga pyramidalis ‘Metallica Crispa’
at Digging Dog
Bugleweed
From the Latin abigo, to drive away, Ajuga
was thought to drive away disease. To some of us
that disease is winter; the remedy is Bugleweed, herald
of spring, with its clear blue, white or pink flowers.
The crisp, crinkled foliage hugs the ground for a
quick-spreading, evergreen carpet. Use Ajuga
en masse under a high canopy, or to soften the hard edges of walls and paving. A moisture-retentive soil is
recommended. Ajuga pyramidalis ‘Metallica Crispa’ 
It’s not a cereal advertised on MTV, but a curious combination of metallically reflective, scrunchy purple leaves, and spikes of deep blue flowers. This one is a sound choice for tight situations, between stepping stones or in a woodland setting. A good ground cover with Viburnums.
Blooms March – early June. Size: 6" high x 12" & spreading; hardy to zone 4. Ajuga pyramidalis ‘Metallica Crispa’ (P-0006)
