AJUGA CATLINS GIANT

Latin Name: Ajuga reptans 'Catlin's Giant'

Description: Also known as Giant bugle, this ground-hugging and fast spreading perennial is an excellent choice for those looking to fill raised planters or concrete gardens. Adds height to gardens already containing the compact bugle varieties. As spring is coming to an end, spires of beautiful periwinkle florets cover the low-growing foliage. Aggressive spreading is suitable for between stepping-stones, rock-walls, or other tricky gardens.

Potentially Invasive: To mitigate spreading, cut back the plants in the fall and remove the excess root systems.
