Description
Bugleweed 'Chocolate Chip' is a herbaceous perennial suited to part sun to shade and average conditions. It offers purple color in spring.
Benefits
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.
