The extra-dark, shiny leaves make this groundcover stand out from other selections of Ajuga reptans. Ajugas are easy-care and can tolerate light foot traffice. Because they do not root deeply, down-sizing and editing is neither difficult not labor-intensive. In the spring, the brilliantly colored flowers of 'Black Scallop' contrast dramatically against the almost purple black foliage. Flowers appear on 6-inch spikes.
