Description
Hands down our favorite Ajuga, also called Bugleweed, 'Catlins Giant' sports the largest leaves and tallest flowers of any Ajuga variety we grow, and is the fastest spreader. The large, deep green and purple leaves of Catlins Giant contrast nicely with other plants in shady to partially shaded areas of the garden, providing an almost tropical effect. The tall spikes of hyacinth-like violet color flowers that rise above and nearly cover the foliage in spring are an extra-added bonus!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a carpet-like patch 4 to 6 inches tall and spreading 18 inches or more, Catlins Giant Ajuga is a wonderful choice for use as a colorful groundcover in shady to partially shaded areas. With consistently moist soil this variety will tolerate full sun. Also ideal for use as a spreading border along paths and walkways, as a groundcover to fill in around shrubs in home foundation plantings and woodland areas, as an underplanting for shrubs and trees, tucked around boulders in rock gardens, or as an accent or soil cover in combination container gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 12 to 18 inches apart for mass plantings and solid borders

Growing Preferences
Catlins Giant Ajuga is very easy to grow in most any most but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade. With consistently moist soil it will tolerate full sun, even in the South. Overly dry soils will require supplemental irrigation during drought. As with many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic.
