Hardy Blue Bugle (Bugleweed) - Ajuga reptans Tuff And Tidy

Ajuga reptans Tuff and Tidy, also known as Hardy Blue Bugle or Bugleweed, is a robust evergreen groundcover renowned for its resilience and vibrant seasonal display. It features glossy green and purple foliage that forms a dense mat, suppressing weeds while adding texture and colour. Throughout spring and summer, it bursts into masses of blue flower spikes that attract pollinators and create a rich carpet of colour. This variety is hardier than most Ajugas, making it ideal for Melbourne’s variable climate, including sunny spots, semi shaded gardens, and challenging soils.

Key Features:

• Soil: Grows in most soils including clay, loam, and sandy types. Ensure good drainage.
• Light: Prefers full sun to semi shade.
• Watering: Moderate water needs, keep soil moist during establishment.
• Fertiliser: Apply slow release fertiliser in spring to support foliage colour.
• Maintenance: Trim runners and remove old flowers to maintain a tidy appearance.
• Flowering: Blue flower spikes appear from spring through summer.

Use Ajuga Tuff and Tidy in difficult or exposed areas, its hardy growth and tidy form make it one of the most resilient Ajugas available.
