Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Glow'

Product Image
Wonderfully useful plants for filling gaps towards the edges of shadier borders, Ajuga reptans also makes excellent groundcover, soon knitting together to form a decorative, evergreen carpet.

'Burgundy Glow' has multi-coloured, evergreen foliage with wine red splashes and cream margins and dense, upright spires of deep blue flowers in spring.

While tolerant of sun, shade and poor soils, it does not like to dry out.

How to care for Ajuga reptans Burgundy Glow:

Plant in moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade where it will thrive, though it will also tolerate full shade. It's a spreading ground cover, so it space to form a mat, and avoid planting too close to other low-growing plants.

Keep watered in dry spells until established, then it’s generally low maintenance. Cut back any faded flower spikes and trim back runners if they spread too far.

To rejuvenate and minimise congestion, lift and divide clumps in late autumn or early spring every few years.
