Ajuga multicolour (Ajuga Common Bugle) Details

Ajuga reptans ‘Multicolour’, commonly known as Bugleweed, Common Bugle, or Carpet Bugle, is a quick growing, ground covering plant that features colourful leaves that are variegated green, pink, and cream. It spreads by surface runners in the same way as a strawberry plant and can spread almost indefinitely. In spring, it produces showy clusters of blue flowers on stems that can rise 30 cm above the foliage. This Common Bugle typically grows to 20 cm tall and will cover a 50 cm wide area in less than two years. It grows best on a well-drained site that does not dry out in either full sun or partial shade. It is frost hardy and generally trouble-free. Ajuga reptans ‘Multicolour’ 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.
