Ajuga reptans 'Pink Lightning'

This variety forms a low, spreading mat of soft mint green, crinkly textured leaves with a distinct creamy white edge. Short, bubblegum pink flower spikes are produced in mid to late spring. A. reptans is an evergreen groundcover that can grow in the shade of large trees where grass is hard to establish. Unlike many perennials that are grown only for their flowers, ajuga is prized for its attractive, colorful foliage that looks nice all year.
