    With its deep burgundy-black, glossy, scalloped foliage and gorgeous deep blue late spring flower spikes, this makes a stunning groundcover (to 3"h x 36"w) or hanging basket. This wonderful perennial makes a striking contrast when planted with light-colored plants. Ajuga makes a perfect choice for woodland and shade gardens. PSh-S/M PP15815

    A low ground cover for contrast, with shiny almost black scalloped leaves. 'Black Scallop' is useful not only in the garden but in containers as well! The deepest foliage color is achieved when grown in full sun and also when temperatures are cooler. From mid to late spring, short 4-6" spires of navy blue flowers add a color accent. Likes average soil conditions. Foliage height is under 2", roots along a as it spreads.

    A very nice low growing (4-6")perennial groundcover with glossy large dark black-purple scolloped leaves and deep blue flower from early spring to early summer. It can be planted in full sun to partial shade, but has the best color in the brighter light. Evergreen in milder climates. Expands well our groundcover opportunities
