Reviews

I orded these to add to my ground cover. I received pots full of plants with a good root system. The deer leave them alone and they provide winter interest. I really like these!

I bought a quart pot towards the end of the season and what came was basically a gallon! This ajuga is so beautiful. I was able to divide it into four (!) very healthy sized clumps and plant them in a shady area of the "tropical" section of my Seattle garden. They provide a lovely accent to canna lilies, variegated fatshedera, astelia, maidenhair ferns, flowering maple vine and chilean guava. It brightens up that shady corner where I only had chartreuse baby tears (Soleirolia Soleirolii Aurea) as a groundcover before and provides some wonderful texture and height interest.
