<i>Ajuga reptans</i> ‘Burgundy Glow’ | Burgundy Glow Bugleweed
DESCRIPTION
Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Glow' is a vibrant, mat-forming perennial known for its tri-colored foliage, which features shades of burgundy, creamy white, and green. The variegated leaves create year-round visual interest, especially when they take on deeper hues of red and purple in cooler months. In late spring to early summer, the plant produces short spikes of blue-violet flowers that rise above the colorful foliage, adding another layer of appeal to this ground cover.
Native to Europe, Ajuga reptans has been widely cultivated for ornamental use, with 'Burgundy Glow' being one of the most popular varieties due to its striking foliage and easy care. It is often used to fill in shady areas or as a low-maintenance, spreading ground cover, bringing color and texture to otherwise dull garden spots.
