- Low, dense carpet for shade or sun—typically ~2–4 in. tall, spreading ~12 in. or more.
- Easy‑care and fast‑growing; deer and rabbit resistant, and tolerant of black walnut.
- Thrives in organically rich, moist, well‑drained soil; great between stepping stones, under shrubs, and in containers.
Burgundy Glow Ajuga (Ajuga reptans ‘Burgundy Glow’) delivers a tapestry of variegated color—pale green and cream splashed with burgundy—then tops its carpet‑like mat with blue flower spikes from spring into early summer. Happy in full sun to partial sun with evenly moist, well‑drained soil, this herbaceous groundcover spreads to fill tough spaces with year‑round texture and low‑maintenance performance.
Plant Description
A spreading, herbaceous groundcover that forms a dense, carpet‑like mat of multicolored foliage and showy blue flower spikes—ideal for knotting together shady beds, path joints, and container rims.
Foliage & Color
Variegated leaves in pale green and cream with burgundy highlights provide season‑long contrast; foliage color is often richest with brighter exposure and even moisture.
Flowers & Bloom Time
Deep blue flower spikes in spring to early summer rise just above the foliage for a vivid color pop.
Habit & Size
Typically ~2–4 in. tall and ~12 in. wide (or more) as it knits in; naturally mat‑forming for a tidy, low profile.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun to partial sun. In hotter inland sites, provide some afternoon relief to protect foliage quality.
Water & Soil
Keep soil moderately and evenly moist—never waterlogged. Prefers organically rich, moist, well‑drained soils for best vigor and color.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 4–10.
Special Features
Easy‑care; fast‑growing; deer and rabbit resistant; tolerant of black walnut; effective for erosion control on gentle slopes.
Landscape Uses
Groundcover under trees and shrubs, edging, between stepping stones, rock gardens, and mixed containers.
Care & Maintenance
Water regularly the first season to establish; then as needed to maintain even moisture. Provide good air circulation and avoid soggy soils to prevent crown issues; groom spent flower spikes after bloom.
Spacing & Planting
Space about 12 inches on center for quick, continuous coverage. Plant into well‑drained soil and mulch lightly to conserve moisture.
Container Tips
Use a high‑quality, well‑drained potting mix; pair with silver, chartreuse, or light‑flowered companions to amplify foliage contrast.
