Description
Commonly known as Dark Purple Bugle, Ajuga reptans 'Atropurpurea' is a shade-loving, evergreen perennial, so just perfect for those awkward north-facing borders that need a bit of colour and life injecting. Perfect for ground cover in full or partial shade, this lively and colourful perennial features deep purple-bronze/green scalloped leaves which form dense foliage. In spring and summer, upright flower spikes emerge and bloom with clusters of vibrant deep-blue blooms.
Deep Purple Bugle will thrive in a shady spot anywhere. It's incredibly hardy and will weather the coldest winters quite happily. Being a shade lover it grows best in both loamy and clay soils as long as they have good drainage.
Ajuga reptans 'Atropurpurea' will grow to a maximum height of just 50cm and spreads up to 1m so front of border or beds is the perfect spot; you can even use this perennial to under-plant hedging or other shrubs. With its dense foliage it is especially useful at suppressing weeds by preventing light reaching the soil.
