If you’re not familiar with Ajuga already, you should really look into this versatile ground cover.

 Ajuga is a plant that live in just about any conditions.  It does need a bit of sun and if there’s a drought, it will start to look a bit ragged unless you water it, but it will still hang in there.

 Ajuga comes in so many varieties and colors.  Brighter sun usually intensifies the color so keep that in mind when you choose a variety.

 I wanted to show off the ‘Fancy Finch’ Ajuga.  This variety was just developed and put up for sale in 2021 so it’s still new.  Is very striking with long ovoid leaves in varying shades of yellow and bronze.  The foliage is a lovely backdrop for the gorgeous clusters of pale periwinkle blue flowers.

 This only grows to a height of 3-4”.  The flower stalks are taller.  Each plant can cover up to 18” of ground.

 This is the perfect ground cover to add a pop of color and to keep the ground covered and retain moisture for your garden.
