Ajuga, Black Scallop
Extremely hardy ground cover! Can be walked on, mowed over, or raked clean! Blue flower spikes appear in late spring to compliment the black scalloped leaves.

Compact plants grow 3-6ΓÇ¥ tall which makes them a great groundcover or border plant. A knock out choice for patio pots also. Prized glossy foliage is evergreen in milder climates. For a quick weed-suppresser, plant this aggressive grower 12-36ΓÇ¥ apart. Stunning effect when planted in mass.
