When you are looking for something attractive to quickly fill in a large area， then you cannot go wrong with ajuga， also known as carpet bugleweed. This creeping evergreen plant quickly fills in empty areas， smothering out weeds while adding exceptional foliage color and blooms. It is also good for erosion control. Not to mention its eye appealing foliage and even more appealing bluish to purple blooms， ajuga makes an all around great groundcover. Ajuga thrives in a part shade to shade locations but also grows well in full sun， just slightly slower. Provide water when the top 2\" of the soil is dry until established and enjoy your ajuga for many years to come. Plant will be shipped in dormant state potentially from fall to early spring (metabolic inactivity-shredded foliage and minimal branches).
