The Ajuga plants arrived in good condition. Took off all packing materials & watered. Could not plant immediately so kept watering & putting them in the sun. Just planted them and admired how healthy they All where. Will definitely order from this provider again.

Love my chocolate chips!

I love chocolate chip bugleweed! Beautiful deep green and purple leaves. The flower spikes in the spring were also beautiful.
Best of all- it grows quickly and is very dense. Mine are in mostly shade with a little dappled sunlight. Fantastic ground cover!!!!

Full & Healthy Plugs

Growing very nicely under pine trees in very heavy shade. Critters are leaving it alone (unlike most other things this year). Very pleased and can't wait to see the blooms next spring! Thank you!!!
