Ajuga reptans ‘Purple Torch’
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 reptans ‘Purple Torch’ 
Light up your garden path with these stunning
12 in. pinkish lavender flower spikes that actually do
resemble torches. Emerging from bronze winter foliage, which is followed by the fresh green leaves of spring, such color will brighten the darkest days.
For a dramatic play of colors, place the plant under
Sambucus nigra ‘Black Beauty’ or
near Clematis ‘Freda’.
Blooms March–mid-May. Size: 8"–10" high x 12" & spreading; hardy to zone 4. Ajuga reptans ‘Purple Torch’ (p-0225)
