In areas where the winter is not too severe, it stays evergreen, making it an excellent ground cover plant or addition to containers needing year-round appeal. The flowers appear in late spring on 6 inch spikes with a plant spread of 12 - 18 inches. Ajuga Reptans will do best in a shaded area but will adapt to morning sun. The foliage colors will be more vivid with morning sun. Try to avoid soggy ground conditions as this can lead to an unhealthy plant. Ajuga looks great in rock gardens, as a border plant, in mass plantings, and it is great for preventing erosion. Butterflies and hummingbirds are definitely attracted to Ajuga ground cover.
