Fragrant Ground Cover Plants
Ajuga reptans variegata (Variegated Bugleweed)
Ajuga reptans variegata, commonly known as Bugleweed, Common Bugle, or Carpet Bugle, is a quick growing, ground covering plant that features colourful leaves that are variegated green and cream. In spring, it produces showy clusters of blue flowers as it grows to 20 cm tall and 50 cm wide. Ajuga reptans variegata is a great variety for covering large areas quickly and is often used in borders, allowed to spill out over a path, planted around outdoor living areas, or maintained in a container.
Rosmarinus Lockwood de Forest (Rosmarinus officinalis Lockwood de Forest)
Rosmarinus Lockwood de Forest is a creeping or prostrate variety of Rosemary that features petite, blue flowers through winter and spring. These are produced amidst the lush, dark green leaves. This evergreen typically grows to 30 cm tall and 1 m wide, and grows best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. Rosmarinus Lockwood de Forest is a versatile plant that is ideal for using as a ground covering plant on a bank or the like, using to trail over a wall, or for planting around outdoor living areas such as pools.
