Ajuga Chocolate Chip

Chocolate Chip is an extremely dwarf variety with chocolate colored foliage.  It forms a mat 2 inches high of shinny narrow leaves.  The variety is used as a groundcover, in planters, or in rock gardens.
Ajugas or Bugle Flowers are easy and fast growing perennials that prefer shade and will spread to for an attractive low-growing groundcover.  Some ajugas are aggressive and difficult to remove but BTN selected varieties are not as aggressive.  Usually grown for the foliage, ajugs produce bugle shaped flowers on 4 to 6 inch stalks in the spring.  Deer and rabbits do not eat this plant and can live near a Black Walnut tree.
