Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Glow' - 2026

Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Glow' is a striking, low-growing groundcover valued for its vibrant, variegated foliage that combines shades of burgundy, pink, and green. In late spring to early summer, it produces short spikes of blue flowers that rise above the colourful leaves, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its dense, creeping habit makes it perfect for suppressing weeds, stabilising soil on slopes or banks, and adding year-round colour to borders, rockeries, or shaded garden areas. The foliage maintains its rich tones throughout much of the year, providing continuous visual interest even when not in bloom. 'Burgundy Glow' is versatile and reliable, making it an excellent choice for mass planting or as a groundcover under shrubs and trees.

This hardy plant prefers partial to full shade but can tolerate some sun if the soil is kept moist. It is low-maintenance and spreads quickly via stolons, so occasional thinning may be needed to prevent overcrowding. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant and resilient to most garden conditions, making it suitable for both new and established landscapes. Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Glow' combines ornamental beauty with practical functionality, creating a dynamic and attractive garden feature.
