Bronze Beauty Carpet Bugle

Create a lush, weed-suppressing carpet in sun or shade with Bronze Beauty Carpet Bugle (Ajuga reptans 'Bronze Beauty'). This perennial groundcover forms a dense mat of attractive bronze-tinged foliage, topped in spring by deep blue flower spikes that rise above the leaves.

It thrives in full sun to partial shade with moderate moisture, staying under 2 feet tall and spreading 1–2 feet. Excellent for filling in under shrubs, between stepping stones, or on slopes. Even performs well in shady areas where grass struggles.
