Ajuga Metallica Crispa

Ajuga pyramidalis Metallica Crispa

Ajuga pyramidalis Metallica Crispa forms a spreading mound of dark green-purple leaves. The foliage grows as small rosettes with the leaves having a bubbly appearance. Spikes of blue flowers rise above the foliage from spring through summer and bring another element to this already lovely plant. It typically grows to about 20 cm tall and will spread up to 80 cm wide. This evergreen Carpet Bugle requires a well-drained site with good summer moisture to perform. It is frost hardy, tolerant of coastal environments, and can be grown in full sun or partial shade. Ajuga pyramidalis Metallica Crispa is commonly used as a groundcover, grown in a container, or used to transform a shady area. A mass planting produces a very rewarding display.
