Bugleweed
Black Scallop Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans 'Black Scallop') is a striking ground cover prized for its glossy, deep purple-black foliage and its ability to thrive in various garden settings. This low-growing perennial forms dense mats of foliage, making it ideal for filling in gaps between pavers, along borders, or in shady areas where other plants struggle to grow. In spring, it produces short spikes of small, blue-violet flowers that contrast beautifully with the dark foliage. Black Scallop Bugleweed is relatively low-maintenance and tolerant of a range of soil types, preferring moist, well-drained soil and partial to full shade. Its richly colored leaves add dramatic flair to any garden, while its spreading habit helps suppress weeds and erosion. Whether used as a ground cover or as a focal point in a shaded garden bed, Black Scallop Bugleweed makes a stunning addition to the landscape.
