Ajuga ‘Blueberry Muffin’ PP22,092
Blooming Time
Exposure
‘Blueberry Muffin’ is a cute little ground cover that forms mats of rich olive-green and deep purple, evergreen, weed-excluding foliage. The foliage is attractive on its own, but during late spring it becomes accented with spires of clear-blue pollinator attracting flowers. A good grower, ‘Blueberry Muffin’ is not overly aggressive, and is useful in shady areas as a food friendly ground cover or turf substitute. It is effective for filling gaps between stepping stones and grows well under shrubs and open canopied trees, and in containers.
