Ajuga Chocolate Chip (Ajuga reptans ‘chocolate chip’) is a quick-spreading flowering groundcover with rich, chocolate brown foliage. Lavender-blue flower spikes rise from the foliage in late Spring to early Summer and may repeat bloom. This deer-resistant and rabbit-resistant perennial thrives where other groundcovers may fail and are ideal for planting beneath trees and shrubs, on slopes, between stepping stones, and even in containers. Producing 3-inch foliage and flowering spikes of up to 6 inches, the Ajuga Chocolate Chip may be the perfect groundcover for your needs, with the added convenience of no fertilization needed. The Chocolate Chip Bugleweed is easy to care for; it only needs to be thinned every few years and it can be pruned after blooming using a high-raised mower. This ground cover is an optimal choice when looking for a low-lying, spreading perennial.
