Ajuga Midnight Mystery™
Famed British garden celebrity Adrian Bloom found Ajuga Midnight Mystery™ as a seedling selection in his garden. He immediately noticed the stunning combination and knew it must be introduced to the gardening world. Ajugas are great groundcovers for full sun and part shade. They are easy to grow and hardy in many areas of the world.
Stunning bronze-purple levels emerge in spring, giving way to the most darling, rosy-pink flowers. As summer warms up, the leaves age to deep eggplant purple and remain nearly evergreen in even the coldest winters, providing deep purple leaves until spring.
This is a color breakthrough in bugleweed. Never has there been a dark-leaved selection with pink flowers. Midnight Mystery propagates and grows quickly and is available to growers from virus-free clean stock.
Please note: We don't sell plants. Asking your local retailer or googling the plant name is the easiest way to find someone selling our plants.
