Description
Chocolate Chip ajuga ‘Chocolate Chip’ ajuga (Ajuga × tenorii) is a low-growing bugleweed with narrow, chocolate-toned foliage and short spikes of blue flowers. Its compact habit adds color and texture along paths, between stepping stones, and at the front of shaded beds.
Growing and Care
Plant in well-drained soil with morning sun or partial shade. In Alabama, shade during the hottest part of the day helps reduce leaf stress. Water regularly while establishing, then as needed during dry spells. Give plants room to spread and avoid persistently soggy soil.
Size and use: Foliage typically stays around 4 inches tall, with flower spikes rising above it. Use as a spreading groundcover or an accent in mixed planters.
