The Black Scallop bugleweed (Ajuga reptans ‘Black Scallop’) is a striking and low-growing perennial known for its dark, almost black foliage and spikes of blue flowers. This variety features small, scalloped leaves with a glossy, deep purple-black hue, creating a dramatic contrast. Growing 4-6 inches tall and spreading 12-18 inches wide, it forms a dense, mat-like ground cover ideal for borders, ground cover, or rock gardens. Thriving in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil, it is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate some foot traffic. Blooming in late spring to early summer, it attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, the Black Scallop bugleweed is a resilient and eye-catching addition to any landscape, blending beauty and practicality effortlessly. Its dark foliage and spreading habit make it a standout in any garden setting.
