Ajuga reptans 'Braunherz'

Ajuga reptans, commonly known as bugle, is a low-growing, spreading perennial with striking dark purple foliage that forms dense mats. In late spring, it produces short spikes of deep blue flowers that rise just above the foliage, creating a vibrant contrast against its rich leaves.

This cultivar is valuable for pollinators, offering nectar to bees, and its dense growth provides shelter for small wildlife. Its vigorous, ground-covering habit makes it ideal for damp borders, shaded areas, and naturalistic planting schemes where low maintenance and year-round foliage interest are desired.
