Metallica Crispa Ajuga
The Ajuga `Metallica Crispa', Ajuga pyramidalis, is a useful ground cover with short spikes of cobalt blue flowers.
The flowers appear in early spring on 8" spikes with a plant spread of 12-24". `Metallica Crispa' is excellent for shady moist areas but will adapt to a little more sun than most Ajuga.
If one is looking for a perennial ground cover to exceed in a hard to grow shady area, Ajuga's are the way to go.
Metallica Crispa' has very tight, crisp-leafed crinkled purple foliage, almost prune-like, with a green-brown shine.
