Bronze Beauty Bugleweed

Ajuga reptans 'Bronze Beauty'

The Bronze Beauty Bugleweed is a perennial plant known for its attractive bronze-purple foliage and blue flowers. It blooms in the spring, creating a beautiful contrast between the flowers and the leaves. This plant is quite versatile and can grow in a variety of conditions, though it prefers partial to full shade and well-drained soil.

One of the great things about the Bronze Beauty Bugleweed is that it's a fast grower and spreads quickly, making it an excellent choice for filling in bare spots in your garden or for preventing soil erosion on slopes. However, it's also important to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't spread too much and become invasive.

This plant is also deer-resistant and attracts butterflies, making it a great addition to a wildlife-friendly garden.
