Bugleweed - Ajuga reptans 'Black Scallop'
Ajuga reptans ‘Black Scallop’ is a compelling evergreen groundcover featuring glossy, near-black scalloped foliage that darkens in sun, topped by spikes of violet-blue flowers in late spring to early summer. It forms a low mat 3–6 in (7–15 cm) high with a spread of 8–36 in (20–90 cm), ideal for edging, containers, rock gardens, and shady areas. Thriving in full sun to full shade with average moisture, it establishes quickly via stolons while remaining resistant to deer and rabbits. Low-maintenance yet dynamic, it suppresses weeds and attracts pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds .
