Bugle
Ajuga reptans Burgundy Glow
This is a fully hardy, fast-growing, creeping evergreen perennial which forms a striking mat of attractively variegated, dark green and creamy-yellow leaves, tinged with deep violet-pink when young. It produces spike-like whorls of eye-catching, dark blue flowers from April to May and makes a great groundcover plant for growing in the shaded areas under the canopies of trees. Although it’s tolerant of dense shade, the foliage colour is more vivid if it receives some early morning sun. Perfect for rock gardens, as a border plant or in mass plantings on a slope to prevent erosion, it also looks stunning when grown in a container, with the foliage attractively draped over the sides of the pot. Lift and divide every few years if required

Garden Care:
Incorporate lots of well-rotted organic matter into the backfill when planting. Apply generous well rotted organic mulch in early spring and keep well-watered during periods of dry weather.Please Note: Many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means that there is little or no top growth apparent between November and March. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in spring. In the dormant period, we may not have stocks of all varieties in all pot sizes and therefore reserve the right to supply 9cm pots instead of 2 litre and adjust the price accordingly.
