Chocolate Chip Ajuga

The Chocolate Chip Ajuga is great for:

• Adding color to dull spots in your yard
• A low-maintenance groundcover
• A unique way to add blooms to your landscape

The incredibly versatile Chocolate Chip Ajuga gives you vibrant color from a low-maintenance groundcover.

This vigorous low-growing plant is very easy to care for and gives you vibrant purple blooms. It even thrives in areas where other plants (even grass) struggle to survive.

The Chocolate Chip Ajuga’s evergreen foliage is attractive year-round, showing off a satin sheen finish embossed with rich hues of chocolate brown, bronze and maroon. Don’t let all this beauty fool you though; it is as tough as it is gorgeous and can even withstand light foot traffic.

In spring, 4-inch stalks begin sprouting up out of the foliage, bursting with clusters of purple-blue flowers. These blooms attract all sorts of butterflies and hummingbirds, so keep your binoculars handy.

Maturing to heights of just 4-6 inches with a 6-12 inch spread, Chocolate Chip Ajuga is perfect when growing under shade trees, between stone pavers on a path, on a rocky slope, or just about anywhere you want a blanket of rich color and texture.

This Ajuga grows fast, so you won’t have to wait long to see it fill in, forming a vibrant multi-hued carpet. This attractive groundcover acts as a natural weed deterrent; even the deer leave it alone.

Thriving in growing zones 4-9, this beautiful plant is very cold-hardy and grows just about anywhere. Chocolate Chip Ajuga is adaptable to most soil types, too.
