FAQ's

Is Ajuga 'Chocolate Chip' evergreen?

Yes, in warmer zones (6–9), Ajuga 'Chocolate Chip' stays evergreen. In colder areas, it may go semi-dormant in winter but quickly greens up in spring.

Can I walk on Ajuga 'Chocolate Chip'?

While it’s great between pavers, Ajuga doesn’t tolerate heavy foot traffic. Light, occasional stepping is fine, especially when well established.

Does it flower?

Yes, it produces spikes of vibrant blue flowers in late spring to early summer. The blooms attract bees and pollinators while adding color to shaded spots.

Is it invasive?

Ajuga spreads fast by runners, making it an excellent groundcover. It can spread aggressively in ideal conditions but is easy to manage with trimming or borders.

What kind of soil does Ajuga like?

Ajuga prefers moist, well-drained soil but adapts to a variety of conditions. Avoid overly wet or soggy soil to prevent root rot.

Is it deer-resistant?

Yes, Ajuga 'Chocolate Chip' is deer-resistant. Its thick foliage and aromatic nature make it unappealing to deer and rabbits.

Can it grow in full sun?

While Ajuga prefers shade or part-shade, it can grow in full sun in cooler climates. In hotter zones, afternoon shade is recommended to prevent scorching.

How do I maintain Ajuga 'Chocolate Chip'?

Maintenance is minimal. Trim back runners if they spread too far and remove old flower spikes after blooming. Divide clumps every 2–3 years if they become crowded.

Can I grow it in containers?

Yes! Ajuga does well in pots and hanging baskets, especially in shaded patios or balconies. Ensure good drainage and avoid letting it dry out completely.

When is the best time to plant Ajuga?

Spring and fall are ideal for planting Ajuga. These cooler seasons help the roots establish quickly before summer heat or winter frost arrives.

Note

Please note that the plant will be shipped in its pot, securely fastened with multiple layers of clear tape to prevent any shifting or damage during transit. This ensures that the plant arrives to you with minimal damage, safely and securely. We have been employing this method for shipping plants for several years, occasionally using smaller pots for added safety and convenience during transit. It's important to understand that many plants enter a dormant state during the fall and winter months, resulting in the loss of most leaves and appearing dry or lifeless. This is a natural process, and come springtime, they will begin to regrow and thrive once again. Please be aware that due to regulations set by the Department of Agriculture, there are certain plants and sizes that we are unable to ship to California. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
