Ajuga reptans Burgundy Lace

Common Name:
Bugleweed 'Burgundy Lace'

Description:
Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Lace' is a vibrant, low-growing groundcover renowned for its striking tri-coloured foliage. The scalloped leaves display a captivating mix of burgundy, cream, and green tones, providing year-round interest in the garden. In spring, short spikes of deep blue flowers emerge above the foliage, adding a burst of colour and attracting pollinators. This hardy perennial forms a dense mat, effectively suppressing weeds and making it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, or filling gaps between stepping stones. Thriving in part shade to full shade, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and is frost-hardy, making it well-suited to Melbourne's climate.
