Ajuga reptans 'Chocolate Chip'

Chocolate Chip is most noted for its extremely dwarf habit and its chocolate foliage. It is perhaps best utilized as a small area ground cover. It typically forms a foliage mat to only 2” tall of tiny, shiny, oval leaves (1/2” across) which are chocolate with burgundy highlights. Typical bluish-purple ajuga flowers appear in spring on spikes rising slightly above the foliage to 3” tall. This cultivar was introduced into commerce by Valfredda Nursery in Italy.
