Ajuga reptans Braunherz

Ajuga reptans 'Braunherz,' commonly known as bugleweed, is a low-growing perennial admired for its striking foliage and vibrant flowers. Its bronze-purple leaves form a dense mat, providing year-round interest, while its upright spikes of deep blue flowers bloom in spring, attracting bees and pollinators. Ideal as a ground cover, it suppresses weeds effectively and adds rich color to shady or partially sunny areas in gardens.

To grow Ajuga 'Braunherz,' choose a site with partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil. It adapts to a variety of soils but thrives with regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade. Space plants 30–40 cm apart to allow for spreading, and prune flower spikes after blooming to maintain its tidy appearance. Hardy and low-maintenance, it’s perfect for underplanting trees, edging pathways, or enhancing woodland gardens with its lush, vibrant appeal.
