Ajuga Bronze Beauty for Sale Online

The Deep Burgundy bronze foliage of Ajuga Bronze Beauty creates an interesting backdrop for the blue flower spikes that appear in spring. Ajuga Bronze Beauty does well in tubs and mixed containers when used as a spiller as well as in rock gardens and borders. Ajuga Bronze Beauty is an extremely hardy ground-cover that will quickly form a dense carpet-like mat.

We suggest when planting your newly purchased Ajuga Bronze Beauty plants that you dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but not deeper. These are sold and shipped in plugs so planting is a breeze. Depending on the quality of your existing soil you may need to add a locally sourced compost or topsoil to the back-fill soil. We do not recommend using straight topsoil or compost as a back-fill soil because more times than not these products will retain entirely to much moisture and will cause the root system to rot. Adding compost or topsoil will help the young feeder roots to spread through the loose, nutrient rich soil, much easier than if you used solely the existing soil which more times than not will be hard and compacted. The most common cause of plant death after transplanting is planting the new plant to deep. That is why we do not recommend planting in a hole any deeper than the soil line of the plant in the pot. A good rule is that you should still be able to see the soil the plant was grown in after back-filling the hole. Bio-tone starter fertilizer is a great starter fertilizer that provides plants with mycorrhizae fungus. It is a naturally occurring beneficial fungus that colonizes on the new growing roots of plants. It creates a barrier between the roots of the plant and fungus and pathogens that can cause root rot. We love this product and use it on all plants we install in our own gardens. Bio-tone is a gardener’s best friend and can help guarantee your success.
