Description
Ajuga reptans 'Chocolate Chip' is a compact, fast-spreading groundcover prized for its narrow, chocolate-toned foliage and vibrant blue flower spikes in spring. Ideal for small spaces, containers, or between stepping stones, this low-growing perennial adds rich color and texture to shady or partially sunny areas.
- Hardiness USDA Zones are 4 to 9
- Thrives in Part Shade to Full Shade
- Typically grows 2–4 inches tall and spreads 12–18 inches wide
Note: Your plant is shipped potted and carefully packaged to prevent transit damage. Dormancy or seasonal dieback may cause it to appear less vibrant in winter—this is completely normal and temporary.
