Description
'Black Scallop' is a dramatic Ajuga, with glossy year-round leaves and stunning deep blue flowers. Spreads well with plenty of moisture.
An impressive groundcover, Ajuga is masterful at filling in spaces where other plants struggle to grow – even under Black Walnut trees. Its glossy, colorful foliage forms rosettes that stay close to the ground, creating a dense carpet that suppresses weeds and controls erosion. In summer, delightful flower spikes attract pollinators and add beauty to the summer landscape. Low-maintenance plants do not need trimming or deadheading. Ajuga, also called Bugleweed, is deer and rabbit-resistant, and readily adapts to a variety of conditions. Ajuga can be planted in full sun, part sun, and full shade locations, and it tolerates a wide range of soils, although it can be susceptible to root rot in very wet sites. It spreads by forming offshoots (stolons) that reach away from the plant, forming nodes and sending down roots where they touch the ground. Ajuga reptans is native to Europe, northern Africa, and southwestern Asia. Use this lovely, vigorous grower to your advantage!

Looks great
"Looks great"
Exactly what I hoped to receive
"The plants arrived safely packaged. They all were of excellent quality with robust root growth. They transplanted easily and are flourishing, even with the early extreme heat."
1427 Belleview Road
"I have planted my Black Scallop Ajugas at the front of my garden box with lavender behind them. Can't wait to see them when they start to bloom. . . . and have to order some more!! Great customer service and healthy plants."
Beautiful Ground cover
"Product arrived as promised and plants looked great"
Tough and pretty
"This plant is tough and pretty. It's a very thirsty plant. . . Blooming now, in july-august."
I going to order More
"They are a very attractive ground cover"
I would buy again!
"This plant is such a beautiful color contrast in my garden! I love the shiny leaves. I am using it as a border around my beds to help hold in the mulch as well as accent the other things going on in there. Each one looks like a dark purple doily. I have ordered several times once I saw how lovely they are."
Hardy rich foliage and purple flower. Great shade plant!
"I love American Meadows. You guys are the best! Great plants! Great customer service!"
bustin' out of the pot
"this is my first order from American Meadows and the plants that I received were healthy and about bustin' out of the pots. No skimpy plants being shipped, thank goodness. Very pleased so far."
Doing beautifully in difficult circumstances
"I ordered three or four of these. They looked very good on arrival and look even better now in fall. . They did not bloom this first year, but have grown larger and appear well established. I am 7500' high in the mountains of southern NM. The spring and early summer are hot, dry and windy until monsoon season begins. Then it is rainy for a few months. . The soil, or what passes for it here, is decomposed rock, drains like a sieve, and is alkaline, lacking in nutrients. In other words, not ideal gardening conditions. I'm very pleased with how this plant has not only survived, but thrived."
