Black Scallop Bugleweed

A bold statement in deep, inky hues, Ajuga ‘Black Scallop’ Bugleweed brings a dramatic edge to any garden. Its glossy, near-black foliage forms a dense, creeping mat, weaving through beds, spilling over containers, and filling in shady nooks with effortless style. When spring arrives, spikes of electric blue flowers rise above the dark leaves, creating a contrast so striking it feels almost unreal. Fast-spreading, drought-tolerant, and deer-resistant, this low-maintenance powerhouse thrives in sun or shade, proving that elegance and resilience can go hand in hand.

  • Watering: Low to moderate water needs; drought-tolerant once established.
  • Maintenance: Trim back after flowering to keep foliage lush and compact.
  • Hardiness: Hardy to USDA zones 4-9, standing up to cold, heat, humidity, and neglect.
  • Additional Tips: Perfect for woodland gardens, borders, between stepping stones, and erosion control. Deer-resistant, pollinator-friendly, and a striking choice for high-impact contrast!
