Chocolate Chip Ajuga 1G

Low-Growing Groundcover with Rich Chocolate-Bronze Foliage

Introducing Chocolate Chip Ajuga, a classic carpet bugle prized for its narrow, deep chocolate-bronze leaves and dense, spreading habit. In spring, short spikes of blue flowers rise just above the foliage, adding a pop of color without overpowering the plant’s refined look. Excellent for filling in between stepping stones, edging borders, and suppressing weeds, this tough groundcover performs beautifully in shade to partial sun. Grown in a 1-gallon pot, it’s ready to establish quickly.
