Also referred to as Bugleweed, there are numerous varieties that are commonly utilized as ground covers in shady gardens. This particular variety is among the largest, creating a robust mound of deep bronzy-red leaves that resemble spinach. In spring, it showcases clusters of stunning, deep blue tubular flower spikes that are quite appealing. It is excellent for use as edging. These plants thrive in rich, moist soil but can withstand brief periods of summer drought. They can be easily divided in the spring or early fall. This selection is particularly well-suited for containers and mixed tubs.
