Burgundy Glow Ajuga
If one is looking for a perennial ground cover to exceed in a hard to grow shady area, Ajuga is the way to go.
The Ajuga `Burgundy Glow', Ajuga reptans, is a useful ground cover with short spikes of blue flowers.
This Ajuga is one of the most popular, forming striking mounds of leaves dappled in green, pink and cream.
It is relatively carefree, however, it can be invasive.
During the wintertime, Ajuga `Burgundy Glow' develops rich bronze and burgundy tones.

For United States gardeners ... remember to fertilize your lawn around the summer holidays. First on Memorial Day weekend to start the summer, again on Labor Day after the heat of the summer has passed, and finally near Halloween for a healthy lawn next spring.
