Burgundy Glow Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Glow') is a spectacular, low-growing perennial groundcover renowned for its kaleidoscopic tricolor foliage — each leaf a swirling tapestry of cream, soft rose-pink, and deep burgundy that intensifies in cool weather and glows in dappled light. In spring, tall spikes of electric-blue flowers rise above the colorful carpet, creating a stunning multi-layered display that rivals any flowering perennial for sheer visual drama and seasonal interest.

Grown from certified organic heritage stock, each plant arrives with a Professional Grade root system primed for vigorous establishment. Burgundy Glow performs beautifully in partial to full shade and is equally at home edging a perennial border, cascading between stepping stones, filling gaps in a woodland garden, or spilling over the sides of mixed containers. Its strong spreading habit fills bare ground efficiently, suppressing weeds and protecting soil moisture across large areas with minimal effort.

  • Showstopping Tricolor Foliage — Swirling cream, pink, and burgundy variegation creates one of the most visually complex and beautiful foliage displays available in any shade-tolerant groundcover.
  • Spring Pollinator Blooms — Electric-blue flower spikes attract bumblebees, mason bees, and beneficial insects during critical early-season foraging windows when other blooms are still absent.
  • Fast-Spreading Weed Suppressor — Strong runners spread readily to fill bare patches quickly, delivering dense, weed-smothering coverage across borders, slopes, and problem areas.
  • Evergreen in Mild Climates — Foliage persists through winter in zones 4–9, providing reliable year-round color, erosion control, and landscape structure even in the coldest months.
  • Adaptable to Difficult Sites — Thrives under established trees, on dry slopes, and in compacted or clay-heavy soils where most ornamental groundcovers struggle to establish.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in partial to full shade with consistent moisture — water regularly until established, then reduce frequency as the plant colonizes the surrounding space. Hardy in USDA zones 3–9, growing 4–6" tall with a spread of 12–24". Blue flower spikes bloom in spring (April–June). Space 12–18" apart for a seamless, tapestry-like groundcover effect.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and ship until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
