Ajuga reptans (common names: Bugle)

Phew !! Your pictures take my breath away..................sooooooo beautifull

thanks reg, its a real complement coming from you! but it does make you feel cold just looking at them does'nt it!

Do you get trouble with Mold on your Ajuga? i do on mine what am i doing rong?

Hi Jacque, no, I don't have a problem with mold on the ajuga, but I do sometimes get it on a few other plants. Maybe the problem is the location?? Maybe it's not getting enough air circulation? Not enough sun? I'm really not sure why you have a problem with mold. Maybe someone else can help you better.

i think ur rite about the sunshine Diohio as its in a shady part of the garden! il move it 2 sunny part of garden &see what happens :)

Hi. I love this stuff...found that a light topdressing with compost/topsoil makes them very happy! love that blue.
I have had downy mildew on my honeysuckle, my sister recommended a light spritz with baking soda in solution. It worked for me!

what a fab and rich colour ....Is this a low and compact plant, to grow ang..chezs

Love this colour its so different from my Ajuga?

I love Ajuga. This is well advanced!

yes it is Chezs, its really good ground cover. whats yours like Jac, was wondering if you are up for a swap? - i'll send ya some of mine and you can send me some of yours?

I'm a big fan of the ajuga although the flowers aren't the best thing in the world the leaves more than make up for it and of course they last forever! Hel.xxx.

mmmm me too Hel, i have been selling some of this one ebay and it's going like hot cakes, i am just digging up a clump here and a clump there, it spreads so quickly, - great way of making a bit of plant buying cash me thinks! - and he cant moan as i am making money out of things i already have! lol

Iv this Ang in the darker leaf colour &the flowers are almost open now il take pics once they are :)

lovely

Iv just palnted a large clump of this around my rocks around the pond area :) I love its colour :D

Fantastic Chris :)

Thanks for a really good combination idea, Chris. I have ajuga with violets. When they get going I will post...I think ajuga is one of the nicest ground covers. It likes to be snugged up with compost...seems almost to grow out of the soil...but really settles down when given a thin top dressing.

So do I. I've got quite a lot of it in my garden too.

Is this a perinnials, and what is the name.......I just love this one.....smiles

Got this one and I must admit I really like the ajugas they do so very well although this one needs to be out of really bright sun otherwise it looses it's stunning colouring something I found out last year.Hel.xxx.

Thanks Hel I will have to replant this as its in the sun dont want to lose it nice colour

Iv not got this colour iv the Dark Leaf 1 & its lovely :)

I'm sure it will do well Janette in a less sunny place if its quite large why not split it and get some extra plants from it? I do it all the time and it's also a way of keeping the plant in check as although it is without doubt a brilliant groundcovering plant it sometimes tries to cover others around it.Hel.xxx.

Just replanted it to-day Hel in a nice shady spot ,its still little at the moment but I will split it when its a bit bigger I have some other Ajuga in the shady front garden but they are not as nice as this one

great colour
