    A very cool little Ajuga nothing like what is sold as groundcover. Fuzzy mats of dissected leaves,it has large unusually shaped yellow flowers produced all season. It's short lived or annual but may seed itself in a trough or you can take cuttings. You do not want to miss this furry leaved yellow flowered gem.
