Fast-growing, Ajuga reptans ‘Blueberry Muffin’ (Carpet Bugle) is a vigorous evergreen perennial prized for its blueberry-blue flowers and thick leaves, which quickly form a dense mat of attractive rosettes. Emerging with a bronze flush in mid-spring, the small but weather-resistant, green leaves contrast nicely with the lavender-blue flower spikes, 8 in. tall (20 cm). Ajuga reptans is valued as a wonderful spreader making a colorful groundcover, which will thrive in shady areas where grass has difficulty growing. Perfect for planting between stepping stones, in wall crevices.
