If you are looking for magnificent contrasting colors, Burgundy Glow is the perfect variegated Ajuga for you. The foliage on Burgundy Glow ranges from mint-green, to ivory, to a burgundy/salmon shade and the 6-inch flower spikes that shoot up from mid-spring to early summer are a rich indigo blue beckoning butterflies to dine in your garden. While Burgundy Glow thrives in a well-drained, full shade location, you'll note she can be flexible: tolerating full sun and even light foot traffic as well. If you have an area under trees that needs a hardy plant, this is the perfect choice. Of course you might fall in love with the ever-evolving foliage colors and opt to replace an entire turf yard with this creeper . Should you do so, you'll be rewarded in early spring with new growth in shades of white, green, pink and even rose hues. As the season wears on, she'll often shift to lots of greens and whites or roses and greens. The real clincher is when autumn dawns and most yards die, her leaves turn a lovely shimmering bronze and remain semi-evergreen throughout the winter. You will be the envy of all your neighbors with a constant display of color. Because she is frost hardy, spreads so quickly , and doesn't pose any real threat to larger perennials, many people find they enjoy experimenting with Burgundy Glow in borders , under shrubs, as an edging or in other areas where they wish to have a prolific ground cover. Remember if you seek that rich burgundy hue from Burgundy Glow's foliage, you'll want to plant her in a sunny location; otherwise she will become greener in color. Spacing 6 - 9 inches.
