Description

Foliage:
- Dense, small, glossy green leaves.
- Maintains a tidy and compact growth habit, making it ideal for tight spaces or low-profile areas.
Flowers: Produces spikes of small, vibrant blue-violet flowers in late spring to early summer, adding seasonal color.
Growth Habit:
- A vigorous yet controlled spreader that forms dense mats, making it effective at suppressing weeds.
- True to its name, it stays “tidy” compared to some other Ajuga varieties.

Habitat and Growth

Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil but adapts to various soil types, including clay or sandy soils.
Growth Rate: Fast-growing and resilient, yet less invasive than some Ajuga varieties, making it easier to manage.

Uses

Borders and Pathways: Excellent for edging around flowerbeds or along walkways.
Under Trees and Shrubs: Thrives in shaded areas where grass often struggles.

Wildlife Friendly: Flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Care Tips

Watering: Water regularly until established, then keep soil moderately moist. Avoid letting it dry out in hot weather.
Maintenance:
- Trim back flower spikes after they fade to encourage new growth.
- Divide plants every few years if they become too dense or to propagate.
Pests/Diseases: Generally resistant to pests but can suffer from crown rot in poorly drained or overly wet soils.
Control: While not overly aggressive, monitor its spread to ensure it doesn’t encroach on other garden areas.

Why Choose ‘Tuff and Tidy’?
