The lavender-blue flower spikes which are about 8 in. tall, and emerge with a bronze flush in the middle of spring, contrasting wonderfully with the compact, weather-resistant, green leaves. Ajuga reptans is prized for its ability to spread quickly and create a vibrant groundcover that will flourish in shaded regions where grass struggles to grow. Perfect for putting in wall spaces and stepping stones.
