When customers ask me for a colorful groundcover for a shady spot, my mind immediately goes to ‘Burgundy Glow’ Ajuga. This plant is a true star for those difficult areas where other plants struggle. It forms a dense, low-growing mat, staying at a tidy 3 to 6 inches tall and spreading up to 24 inches wide. It’s fantastic for filling in between stepping stones, covering a slope, or simply adding a splash of color under the canopy of a tree. The leaves are the real showa stunning mix of creamy white, pink, and burgundy that intensifies in cooler weather or with a little morning sun. In the spring, you’ll also get a bonus of deep blue flower spikes that rise above the foliage, attracting beneficial pollinators. ‘Burgundy Glow’ thrives in part to full shade and is surprisingly durable. Best of all, its one of the best plants for our area that is left alone by both deer and rabbits, so you can enjoy its unique colors without any worries.
