Bugleweed, Carpetweed, Common Bugle
Ajuga reptans or Bugleweed has been selected here by Arthur Lathouris, an Australian award-winning landscape designer, to soften the path edges leading visitors to the house through the front garden and around the back garden.
Valued as a wonderful spreader making colorful groundcovers with its dense, attractive leaf rosettes, Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans) is a quick mat-forming grower which will thrive in shady areas where grass won’t grow.
