Ajuga, also known as bugleweed, are low-growing perennials grown for their colorful, ground-hugging foliage and spikes of blue, purple, or white flowers in spring. They thrive in shady to partially sunny locations and are perfect for use as a ground cover, in rock gardens, or between stepping stones, where they can quickly fill in spaces and suppress weeds.
