Burgundy Glow Ajuga is a stunning ground cover with some of the most vibrant and lovely variegated foliage. The gently scalloped, textured leaves are green but have hints of purplish-pink and creamy white to varying degrees. Dainty, deep blue flowers bloom on upright spikes in May through June, and they add to the appeal, but the Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Glow' is really all about the foliage.
This Ajuga’s low, spreading growth habit makes it an excellent ground cover. The stems feature dense foliage that effectively covers the space in a mixed bed or rock garden. Use it to create a leafy border, conceal uneven ground, or aid in erosion control. Plant this Ajuga in a container and let the reaching stems cascade over the edge. The flowers attract and support pollinators. Grow the Burgundy Glow Ajuga in zones 4 through 8.
Burgundy Glow Ajuga Care
The Burgundy Glow Ajuga is versatile and can live in full shade to full sun. Expect more abundant blooms and intense variegation when grown in increased sunlight. This adaptable ground cover is not picky about soil, but favors rich, slightly acidic soil that retains moisture but allows excess water to drain. Routinely water young plants to help them establish a robust root system. Mature plants are drought-tolerant, but water during a dry spell keeps them looking lush and growing. This leafy beauty is not a heavy feeder, but an annual dose of fertilizer is beneficial.
Trim dead or damaged growth and trim leggy stems if necessary. Ajuga plants tend to maintain a full form and rarely need pruning.
Burgundy Glow Ajuga Spacing
The Burgundy Glow Ajuga reaches 3 to 4 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart to create a full and continuous planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
