Ajuga

Ajuga or Carpet Bugle is a genus of annual and perennial herbaceous flowering plants. They are from the mint family Lamiaceae, which can be found from Europe to Asia, and Africa, as well as with two species found in southeastern Australia. The Ajuga can grow to 5-50 cm tall, with opposite leaves.

The Ajuga has blue and occasionally pink or white flowers on leafy spikes. The names of cultivars usually provide an indication to the character of the leaves. The flower spikes are about 15 cm tall. The Ajuga spread by runners to colonize new areas.
