Ajuga - Bugle Flower
For
creeping over the soil in shaded places the Bugle Flower
is excellent. Two sorts are commonly catalogued. Ajuga
replans rubra has deep purplish-blue flowers and purplish
leaves and is prostrate in habit; A. genevensis is more
upright in growth and bears flowers varying in color
from dull red to white and blue. There is a variegated
form of the Bugle Flower in which the leaves are mottled
with yellow. They flower in May.
USE.
It is an excellent carpet plant and is often used in
cemeteries. When clipped into form it serves as an excellent
edging plant. Rockeries are often planted with the Ajuga.
The plants will grow beneath trees where a lawn is difficult
to establish.
GENERAL
AND PROPAGATION. The plants, being of a spreading habit,
are easily divided either in Spring or Fall. Seeds grow
readily.
