A low-growing perennial that will grow in either sun or shade is a new variety of ajuga or bugle-weed known as “Rainbow”.
Noted for its dark, bronzy-green foliage, which combines shades of cream, pale yellow, green, and pink, with brick-red and purplish-red, it requires no particular care or soil and will grow in places where many plants fail to thrive.
Several Uses of Rainbow Ajuga
Compact and dense, Rainbow ajuga has several uses in the garden. Like the type, it forms a neat ground cover that remains attractive from early spring through late fall.
To edge a path or walk, a driveway or flower border is ideal, while it can also be used in the rock garden and among other low perennials, particularly for the contrast that its bronzy leaves afford.
This ajuga is very hardy and not susceptible to diseases or pests. It grows with ease and spreads quickly to give the desired effect. Most of all it will serve a much-needed use under the dense shade of large trees, where few other plants will grow to such perfection.
