Description

Black Scallop produces the darkest foliage color of any Ajuga. The sumptuous shades of dark purple and midnight black scalloped leaves are larger than those of ‘Mahogany’ Ajuga, and the foliage color is intensified both by sun and cold temperatures. As an extra added bonus, in late spring through early summer spikes of fragrant, intense deep blue flowers rise above the foliage. ‘Black Scallop’ is heat tolerant and highly resistant to powdery mildew.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 6 inches tall and spreading to 18 inches or more to form a patch, the Black Scallop Ajuga is a wonderful choice for use as a colorful groundcover in shady to partially shaded landscape and garden beds. With consistently moist soil this variety will tolerate full sun in the South. Also ideal for use as a spreading border along paths and walkways, as a groundcover to fill in around shrubs in home foundation plantings and woodland areas, as a gap and crevice filler between pavers and stones, as an underplanting for shrubs and trees, tucked around boulders in rock gardens, or as a soil cover in combination container gardens. A fine addition to the black color theme garden!

Suggested Spacing: 12 to 18 inches apart for mass plantings and solid borders

Growing Preferences

When planted right and in the right spot, Black Scallop Ajuga is easy to grow. It adapts to most soil types and likes shade to part shade. With consistently moist soil it will tolerate full sun, even in the South. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. Overly dry soils will require supplemental irrigation. As with many other plants, a constantly soggy soil or standing water can be problematic.
