Description
Ajuga Bronze Beauty is a beautiful, low-growing groundcover that brings rich color and texture to shaded and partially sunny spaces. Its polished, deep bronze-green foliage adds a refreshing layer of contrast to surrounding plants, while spikes of vivid blue flowers rise in spring, delivering a stunning splash of seasonal interest. This tidy, mat-forming perennial is an excellent choice for filling in spaces between stepping stones, edging pathways, or blanketing the base of shrubs. With its dense habit and striking coloration, it makes a satisfying statement across a variety of landscape settings.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers part shade to full shade
- Watering: Water consistently after planting to establish strong roots and quick coverage; once established, requires little supplemental watering except in extended dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a light layer of mulch to conserve moisture and maintain even soil temperatures
- Pruning: Trim back spent flower spikes and lightly shape in late spring if needed
With its gorgeous foliage, fresh floral color, and low-maintenance growth, Ajuga Bronze Beauty adds structure and seasonal appeal as one of the finest choices for shaded groundcover and soft landscape transitions.
