This hardy plant can survive low temperatures.

This plant prefers moist soil. Water frequently.

This colorful ground cover easily takes its place in rock gardens with minimal soil and spots where there are lots of tree roots. Equally comfortable in a nice garden bed or container, it asks only for a little shade each day... no scorching sunlight. Ajuga can also tolerate rather full shade. It needs little in the way of fertilizer. Deer and rabbits will not take interest in this ground cover.

Wow! The brilliant gold foliage of Ajuga Cordial Canary packs a colorful punch in the garden. This brand-new variety is the world’s first gold version of the longtime favorite Ajuga Chocolate Chip. This stunner has everything you love about the original, including winter hardiness, a vigorous growth habit, and striking cobalt blue flowers. An evergreen plant, it will keep the canary-gold foliage all winter long. Small, almond-shaped leaves range from deep gold to light green. This one is a feast for the eyes! Consider Ajuga Cordial Canary for combination containers and groundcover needs. It thrives in shade to partial sunlight.
