Ajuga, Bronze

Bronze ajuga (Ajuga reptans 'Atropurpurea') is a low-growing, evergreen perennial known for its striking bronze-purple foliage. It spreads rapidly via creeping stems, forming a dense ground cover ideal for shady garden areas. The plant produces small, blue-purple flowers in spring, adding a splash of color. It thrives in partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil. Bronze ajuga is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Its vibrant leaves and hardy nature make it a popular choice for borders, rock gardens, and under trees. It is also resistant to deer and pests.
