    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    An evergreen, perennial ground cover. Bears short, whorled spikes of broadly lipped, soft blue, tubular flowers in Spring and Autumn. Silver Carpet has proved to be one of the most Sun tolerant Ajugas, but some shade is still recommended if exposed to hot drying winds. Quick growing it makes a delightful carpet amongst other plants, being too low to smother anything.
