Ajuga plants are wonderfully resilient but will benefit from a little initial care to get well established. Choose a site with well-draining soil and plant in autumn or spring, spacing them to allow plenty of room for spreading. Keep moist while settling in, then reduce watering as they establish. Ajugas rarely suffer from pests or diseases, but occasional division every few years will keep them healthy and prevent overcrowding.
