Chocolate Ajuga 4”

Rich Chocolate-Bronze Foliage with Blue Spring Blooms

Introducing Chocolate Ajuga, a classic carpet bugle prized for its deep chocolate-brown to bronze foliage and dense, spreading habit. In spring, short spikes of rich blue flowers rise above the dark leaves, creating a striking contrast and early-season color. This low-growing perennial forms a thick mat that helps suppress weeds, making it ideal for borders, slopes, containers, and shaded garden areas. Grown in a 4-inch pot, it’s a perfect starter size for easy planting.
