A delightful groundcover plant - Ajuga Black Scallop produces masses of densely-packed, glossy, almost-black leaves which are complemented by vibrant violet-blue flower spikes from mid to late spring. The nectar-rich flowers are adored by pollinators, especially bees, who simply cannot resist them.A variant of the wild bugle, Ajuga Black Scallop will quickly form a carpet of attractive foliage which is excellent for filling out a shaded area, or underplanting larger shrubs, to add interest and supress weeds.This fabulous low-growing perennial will reach an eventual height of just 20cm and a spread of 90cm, naturalising easily and quickly in soil which remains moist and performing best in part to full shade.Plant this superb evergreen where it can creep happily over the edge of a pathway or flowerbed, adding texture and depth to an area which might otherwise be difficult to plant up.
