Bugleweed Plant
Bugleweed, which is also referred to as carpet bugle, ground pine, bugle, or ajuga, includes 60 related species of flowering perennials. The different species are found in the wild in Australia, Africa, Asia, and Europe. They are also introduced in yards and gardens outside of these areas because of their impressive attributes. With a closer look at the many benefits of introducing bugle to your space, you may decide that it is the perfect new addition to your landscaping.
Bugleweed Plant Is Fast-Growing Ground Cover
This is a creeping type that grows up to 20 inches tall, although some species are as short as two inches. It grows rapidly by shooting runners on top of the soil. These runners create a fascinating look, and they quickly sprout new stems. In the wild, it blankets meadows and other open spaces, so it is well-suited for putting in areas of your yard that need ground cover. Notably, the bugleweed plant is often used to prevent soil loss from erosion because of its ability to spread rapidly across steep slopes.
Bugleweed Plant Is A Natural Weed Blocker
Weeds are a nuisance that inevitably requires frequent attention. When they are not tended to regularly, they can overtake your yard and leave it looking unkempt. As a fast-moving ground cover, bugles crowd out the weeds. As a result, their growth is stymied, and they will quickly become less of a nuisance in your space. You can start enjoying your yard more rather than worrying about keeping up with the weeds.
Bugleweed Plant Has Brilliant Colors
It is a fascinating species with dark, shiny leaves that grow in an opposite pattern. During the flowering season, which is usually in the middle or end of the spring months, spikes shoot up that may be as tall as 10 inches above its base. These spikes produce purple, violet, or blue flowers. The flowers have long, flowing petals that some people describe as looking like a woman’s skirt.
Bugleweed Plant Supports A Healthy Ecosystem
Most rodents and mammals do not like the morsel of it and stay away from it. As a result, it is ideal for yards where deer and other animals forage and cause damage. At the same time, insects are attracted to its pollen. During the flowering season, you may spot moths, butterflies, and bees on the blooms. As important pollinators, these insects are crucial to maintaining a healthy ecosystem in your yard.
