Ajuga tenorii ‘Emerald Chip’
at Digging Dog

Ajuga

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.

Embellished with blue pagodas, this viridescent Ajuga ‘Chocolate Chip’ sport hosts a refined, low-to-the-ground emerald green carpet of small, narrow foliage. ‘Emerald Chip’ makes a tidy, vibrant understory for Physocarpus ‘Summer Wine’s lavish crimson-red leaves.

Blooms March–mid-May.

Size: 3"–6" high x 12" & spreading; hardy to zone 4.
