Let New Gardeners Hear about the Bugle
- Bugle is a native wild flower with a posh name Ajuga reptans.
- Bugle flowers dark blue or purple and will grow in poor soil. That is why it is often used as ground cover or under shrubs.
- It sends out stolons, like adventurous roots, to spread quite quickly.
- Good varieties include Burgundy Glow and Caitlins Giant
- Plants attract bees and are good fillers and good doers. ( To me a ‘good doer’ is a plant that produces more reward than I invest in time or cost to get it flowering)
