Ajuga reptans Party Colors


Carpet Bugle

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.030.340


( =‘Binparco’) Also known as Bugleweed, this makes a superb evergreen groundcover in shady areas. It forms a low carpet of rounded tricolor leaves, brightly splashed with pink, green and white. Short spikes of deep blue flowers appear in mid to late spring. This selection is similar in appearance to ‘Burgundy Glow’ but much more stable, vigorous and healthy. Not the best choice for extremely dry shade conditions, like under maple or evergreen trees. Will perform well in tubs or mixed containers. In warm summer regions this may need protection from hot afternoon sun. Bred by British plantsman Mike Tristram. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
