Ajuga
‘Chocolate Chip’
at Digging Dog
Bugleweed
From the Latin abigo, to drive away, Ajuga
was thought to drive away disease. To some of us
that disease is winter; the remedy is Bugleweed, herald
of spring, with its clear blue, white or pink flowers.
The crisp, crinkled foliage hugs the ground for a
quick-spreading, evergreen carpet. Use Ajuga
en masse under a high canopy, or to soften the hard edges of walls and paving. A moisture-retentive soil is
recommended. Ajuga ‘Chocolate Chip’ 
A new arrival from Italy, this unique Ajuga offers tiny, reddish chocolate-brown foliage. Spreading with vigor, the narrow lustrous leaves form a finely textured, close-knit ground cover trimmed by 6 in. tall spikes of bright blue flowers.
For a warmly colored tapestry effect, plant ‘Chocolate Chip’ en masse with Acaena ‘Purpurea’ alongside.
Blooms March–mid-May. Size: 3"–6" high x 12" & spreading; hardy to zone 4. Ajuga Chocolate Chip (p-1092)
Each $6.00
