Bugle

From LoveToKnow Garden

Bugle (Ajuga) - A small family of dwarf herbs of the Sage order, flowering in spring and early summer, and having purplish flowers. They grow on mountain or lowland pastures, and are easily increased by division. A. genevensis is among the best, and is distinguished from the common native Bugle (A. reptans) by the absence of creeping shoots. The flower-stems are erect, from 6 inches to 9 inches high; the flowers deep blue, and in a close spike. Useful for the mixed borders. There is a white variety of A. reptans, also a form with variegated leaves, and another with purplish ones, this being finer than the type.
