Popular as a dependable evergreen ground cover for shade and sun in most areas of the USA. ‘Caitlin’s Giant’ is a larger leafed ajuga with purple and green foliage with a ruffled edge. It is more tolerant of soil types than normal ajuga, and is actually quite drought tolerant once established. It performs equally well in sun or shade, and is a vigorous spreader, choking out weeds. Blue flower spikes appear in April through May. The plant grows 8- 10 inches tall and spreads up to 3 feet. It makes an excellent groundcover in shade or sun, but will not tolerate foot traffic well. Use stepping stones for pathways. Flowers are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
Spiky yellow foliage! Makes an excellent ground cover (NOT for foot traffic) and is very fast growing. Good for container accents, too!

This fast growing vigorous groundcover is covered with deep blue flowers produced on eight-inch spikes. Blueberry Muffin is a faster, stronger grower than other Ajugas, with thicker leaves that are more weather resistant. When in full flower, large clumps of this plant can produce a striking display. Developed by Terra Nova, this Ajuga is faster growing and more vigorous than other small leaved varieties.
