- Compact habit—about 6 in. tall and 18 in. wide; flower spikes reach ~10 in. in bloom.
- Blue, late spring to early summer flower spikes; often repeats in milder climates.
- Easy‑care, herbaceous perennial with thicker, mildew‑resistant foliage; deer and rabbit resistant.
Blueberry Muffin Ajuga (Ajuga reptans ‘Blueberry Muffin’, PP22,092) is a fast‑establishing carpet bugle that forms a tight, mounded mat of richly colored foliage, then tops it with blueberry‑blue flower spikes for a vivid spring display. Thriving in organically rich, moist, well‑drained soils and sun to part sun, it’s an exceptional living mulch for edging, filling gaps between pavers, or underplanting shrubs—bringing reliable color, texture, and weed‑suppressing performance with minimal fuss.
Plant Description
Herbaceous, spreading groundcover forming a dense, mounded mat of small, thick leaves (green with chocolate‑brown hues) and spring flower spikes in shades of deep blue.
Flowers & Bloom Time
Blue flower spikes in late spring to early summer; in favorable, mild climates, plants may offer a light repeat bloom later in the season.
Habit & Size
Typically ~6 in. tall and ~18 in. wide; flower stems to ~10 in., maintaining a low profile suited to edging, path joints, and container skirts.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun to partial sun. Best leaf color develops with brighter exposures provided soil moisture remains consistent.
Water & Soil
Keep soil moderately and evenly moist—never waterlogged. Prefers organically rich, moist, well‑drained soils; apply a low‑nitrogen feed in late summer if desired.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 4–9 for dependable groundcover performance across a wide range of climates.
Special Features
Thicker, weather‑resistant foliage with excellent mildew resistance; deer and rabbit resistant; useful for erosion control and tolerant of black walnut.
Landscape Uses
Groundcover under trees and shrubs, edging along walks, between stepping stones and flagstones, rock gardens, and containers where its carpet habit shines.
Care & Maintenance
Water regularly the first season to establish; thereafter, water as needed to maintain even moisture. Groom spent flower spikes after bloom; divide or thin mats as needed for vigor and airflow.
Spacing & Planting
Space 15–18 in. on center for quick, continuous coverage. Ensure good drainage and air circulation to avoid crown issues.
