Ajuga reptans
Posted by landscapeartisan on April 7, 2009
This is a mat-forming plant, offering wonderful dense ground cover with nice color. The dark green leaves with highlights of purple to bronze form a nice background to the blue/purple spike flowers, which bloom in spring. From the same family as the wild bugle, this plant is very versatile and is suitable for ground cover in the shade beneath trees or shrubs, as well as being part of a flower border fully exposed to the sun.

I need to know how fast growing this Ajuga Reptans is and how far apart to plant it?

Ajuga Reptans should be planted 6″ to 8″ apart and will fill in the space between in about two to three years. I considerate it having a moderate growth rate.
