A frost hardy, low growing plant that has a spreading habit.
It is not unlike the strawberry - by sending out runners to make leafy mat out of which grow spikes of blue flowers in spring.
It has dark oval and furrowed leaves that grow in rosettes and it makes a good, colourful groundcover, especially under trees where it can enjoy dappled light.
This variety of Ajuga reptans has some of the most attractive foliage of all.
