A compact cutie, you are sure to have a sweet spot for Ajuga reptans 'Chocolate Chip'.Carpets of attractive, semi-evergreen, chocolate-green coloured foliage with red highlights hug the ground, suppressing any weeds. Spreading on short rhizomes, rosettes are formed from which stems rise, densely packed with bright blue buds - each one opening to reveal tiny open-mouthed orchid-like blooms with white markings.Perfect for both containers and borders, under trees and shrubs, the blooms are produced from April to August, attracting the attention of bees and other pollinators which will draw closer to investigate. Commonly known as Bugle, or Bugleweed, the reason is unsure but could be because of the shape of the blooms. The species name reptans, means 'creeping' in Latin.Heat and cold tolerant, Ajuga reptans 'Chocolate Chip' is a fully hardy perennial across the UK, classified as H7 on the RHS scale, and in most areas will keep the foliage all year round. The flower spikes reach to around 10cm tall and the foliage will spread up to 25cm. Happiest in moist well-drained soil in full or partial shade.
