Ajuga plants are known for their dense foliage and spikes of blue, purple, or white flowers that appear in spring and early summer.
Ajuga plants offer several advantages for gardeners in New Zealand:
There are several ajuga varieties available in New Zealand, each with its own unique characteristics. Here are some of the most popular options:
Ajuga reptans 'Catlin's Giant' is a popular variety known for its large, glossy leaves and tall flower spikes. The dark green foliage is tinged with bronze, providing a beautiful contrast to the deep blue flowers. This variety is perfect for creating a lush, carpet-like effect.
This variety is prized for its striking tricolour foliage, which features shades of green, cream, and pink. The colourful leaves create a stunning backdrop for the blue flower spikes that appear in spring.
Ajuga 'Chocolate Chip' features small, chocolate-brown leaves that create a dense, low-growing mat. The deep blue flowers contrast beautifully with the dark foliage, making this variety a popular choice for edging and ground cover.
This variety is known for its dark, almost black foliage and scalloped leaf edges. The deep blue flowers appear in spring, providing a striking contrast to the dark leaves. 'Black Scallop' is an excellent choice for adding drama and depth to your garden.
