Bugleweed Seeds - Flower Plant for Home Gardens

Bugleweed is a low-growing perennial groundcover plant valued for its dense foliage and compact flower spikes. The plant spreads to form mats of green, bronze, or purple leaves depending on the variety and produces small spikes of blue, purple, or pink flowers during the blooming season. It is suitable for shaded gardens, borders, rock gardens, and landscape groundcover applications. Bugleweed adapts well to a range of soil conditions and is commonly used for covering open soil areas in garden designs.
