Description

Mahogany Ajuga is a moderate to fast-growing low and spreading perennial plant that forms a carpet of almost black, deep mahogany leaves from which rose upright spikes of bright blue flowers in spring. It’s ideal for use as a groundcover to underplant trees and shrubs and as a soil cover or accent in pots. Provides excellent contrast of texture and color just about anywhere in the landscape.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a carpet-like patch 4 to 5 inches tall and spreading 18 inches or more, Mahogany Ajuga is a wonderful choice for use as a colorful groundcover in shady to partially shaded areas. With consistently moist soil this variety will tolerate full sun. Also ideal for use as a spreading border along paths and walkways, as a groundcover to fill in around shrubs in home foundation plantings and woodland areas, as an underplanting for shrubs and trees, tucked around boulders in rock gardens, as a soil cover in combination container gardens. A fine addition as a border or groundcover in black color theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 12-18 inches apart for mass plantings and solid borders

Growing Preferences

When planted right and in the right spot, Mahogany Ajuga is easy to grow. It adapts to most soil types and likes shade to part shade. With consistently moist soil it will tolerate full sun, even in the South. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. Overly dry soils will require supplemental irrigation. As with many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic.
