Cultivation: Bronze Beauty Ajuga is an outstanding
groundcover for partial shade or full shade beds. This low growing
perennial has dark greenish-purple glossy foliage that reaches a
maximum height of six inches. Once established Ajuga spreads
fairly quickly covering all available soil.
Small lavender flower spikes appear mid to late spring. When
planted in mass the flowers make an awesome display. Spent flowers
should be removed to keep the planting looking its best.
Plant Ajuga Bronze Beauty in partial shade in a moist area.
Ajuga olerates full
shade and poor soils well. The foliage may burn in full sun. This
low growing perennial groundcover is great
for borders or edging.
Propagation: Purchase pre-started Ajuga Bronze Beauty plants at your local
Garden Center. Space transplants any where from 10" to
24" apart depending on how quickly you wish the area to fill
in. Once established Ajuga plants may be dug and divided. Stem
cuttings can be rooted anytime during the growing season, but it
is easier to just divide the plants.
Potential pests ~ diseases: Rare.
