Often, sharp contrasts are what make a garden pop. Distinct color differences, varying textures or foliage forms that are dissimilar engage our senses. Ajuga Black Scallop is a prime example of how a small plant can draw the eye because it looks so different from its neighbors. Low growing, with rosettes of rippled, dark purple black foliage that face upwards and are dotted here and there with short spikes of fragrant purple flowers, Black Scallop stands out from the common seas of groundcover green. Plant in masses for the most arresting effect and, for the deepest leaf color, site in full sun. Come fall, consider tucking some shorter daffodils in between plants for a sensational mid spring combination. Outstanding planted with sedum Angelina.
