Bugleweed 'Bronze Beauty' {3 1/2 in. Pots, min 25}
If you are after
fast spreading,
low-growing
ground covers with absolutely stunning
variegated
foliage, Bronze Beauty is definitely worth taking note of.
Her purple-bronze leaves stand out as a stunning backdrop in nearly every garden.
Boasting beautiful 2-inch lilac flower spikes in early spring, Bronze Beauty will attract butterflies and is sure to be the envy of all your neighbors. She will tolerate occasional foot traffic, and is content to grow in conditions ranging from droughts to bogs. She is often seen gracing the edges of ponds, flowering beneath trees and shrubs, and even in containers. Bronze Beauty's favorite locale will be a well-drained shady location, but she will not disappoint you in a sunny area. What you are guaranteed to get with her is a quick growing, frost hardy, absolutely irresistibly colored display of foliage and the promise of lovely flowers in spring. How can you go wrong? Gardener Tips Remember if you seek that metallic bronze hue from Bronze Beauty's foliage, you'll want to plant her in a sunny location; otherwise she will become more green in color.

Mow large areas of bugleweed with a lawn mower; however, in small patches, trim plants back with pruning shears or a weed trimmer. Does well in full shade, but its best foliage color is in part-sun locations (at least 3-4 hours of sun per day).
Tolerates full sun in southern zones with ample moisture. Prefers loamy, well-drained soil but tolerates moderately dry ones. Avoid situations where it is wet for extended periods.
General information that applies to all plants:
Do not plant Ajuga too deep, the very top of the root is best left above soil level. Do not overwater, let the top 2" of soil dry out before watering. Do not let it stay bone dry for extended periods, but Ajuga likes air to reach their roots and too much water hampers that. In areas where spreading is not desired, trim back the runners before they take root or prune ruthlessly once a year.Requires good drainage. - Ground preparation, fertilization, pH - Planting instructions - Explanation and description of bare roots - How to plant bare root plants - If you cannot plant bare roots right away |
