Ajuga tenorei Blueberry Muffin PP 22092

Ajuga 'Blueberry Muffin' is a Terra Nova introduction of a ploidy mutant of the popular miniature-leafed, Italian endemic, Ajuga tenorei 'Valfredda'. The sterile Ajuga 'Blueberry Muffin' forms a very tight clump of tiny purple leaves that eventually reaches only 3" tall x 18" wide. The clumps are topped with dense spikes of dark purple flowers in spring...perfect where you need a colorful evergreen groundcover that doesn't take over.

Maintenance:

Ajuga 'Blueberry Muffin' is as close to being a maintenance free perennial as can be.They can be planted on 18" centers for a dense, weed-suppressing groundcover.
