BLACK SCALLOP BUGLEWEED -
3-6 Inches Tall 6-12 Inches Wide--
Ajuga reptans 'Black Scallop' is a striking and sophisticated groundcover known for having some of the darkest foliage in the plant world. The leaves are oversized, glossy, and heavily scalloped, featuring a deep burgundy-black color that intensifies in high-light conditions. 'Black Scallop' creates a lush, undulating carpet that stays quite low to the ground, usually around 3 to 6 inches tall. Because the foliage is so dark and lustrous, it provides a dramatic, high-contrast backdrop for lighter-colored perennials or bright green garden accents.
In late spring and early summer, the dark mat is punctuated by sturdy, upright spikes of deep violet-blue flowers. This combination of "near-black" leaves and vivid blue blooms is a favorite for gardeners looking to add a touch of moodiness and depth to the landscape. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. While it can handle deep shade, the leaf color is most intense when it receives at least a few hours of sunlight. It is a vigorous grower that fills in quickly to suppress weeds, making it a reliable and visually stunning solution for borders, containers, or pathways.
