Ajuga tenorii Chocolate Chip

This dwarf Ajuga has miniature, narrow, chocolate-colored leaves and blue flowers that attract hummingbirds. It’s ideal for small spaces, at garden’s edge or in rock gardens. It pairs well with gold or variegated hostas or Japanese painted fern. Grows in moist soil in partial shade or part-day sun as its foliage can scorch in full sun.
