It's my favorite plant, in the next 2 or 3 years, the entire side of my house by these hostas will be filled with it, and I'm super excited.
I've noticed there are 2 cultivars available in my area. The more diffuse kind in this picture, and a much more compact and shorter version. The one in the pic is incredibly cold hardy, it stays green through zone 5 winters. The shorter version is not hardy, but looks incredible as it drapes over the edge of a pot.
Does anyone else have a big plot of creeping thyme, or any other low ground cover they love?
Growing up, my mom always put adjuga in the flowerbeds as a ground cover. I absolutely adore it because it's much more pleasant to look at than mulch or dirt. It spreads rather quick and can be transplanted as easy as pulling some up by the roots and placing it on some dirt. Notuch more attention needed.
I have some in my flowerbeds that was here when i bought my house. I really need to find the time to address my flowerbeds... One of these days...
Ohh I looked up some pictures of adjuga, I really like the foliage color. I'll have to find some, thanks for letting me know about it!
I've seen it in a lot of home improvement stores around spring time and early summer. There are two types that i know of. One is shorter and doesn't flower as much. Another is slightly taller and grows spires of purple flowers! I think there is a color difference in the leaves too (one being lighter green and one darker), but I'm not 100% on that as I am colorblind and it could be my memory playing tricks on me on that one.
