Description
Ajuga 'Black Scallop' adds black seasonal color and ornamental value.

Helps knit plantings together, cover bare soil, and make beds feel more finished. Creates an early-season lift after winter with fresh color and growth. Brings more movement to the garden by drawing butterflies and other pollinators. A better candidate for landscapes with deer pressure than more browse-prone plants.
