Bugleweed is a broad-leaf, evergreen to semi-evergreen, ground-cover. It spreads by underground runners (or stolons) to form a dense mat of foliage. The purple flower adds great colour to the purple/green leaves. Spreads easily, and is shallow rooted, thus easy remove plants if wanted. Plants are well rooted.
Exposure: Sun to full shade Height: 2" to 4" tall when not in bloom, but rises to ~8" tall when in flower. Spreads like strawberries, new plants off the established ones, good coverage quickly, and easy to remove if one wants.
Bugleweed is very deer resistant. Thrives in any type of soil but not too dry.
