Ajuga tenorei 'Princess Nadia' is an extremely short perennial that is most valued as an attractive, creeping ground cover. The foliage of this bugleweed variety is narrow and oval shaped with tri-coloured variegation of pink to burgundy, creamy white, and grayish green. The flowers are a deep violet to blue colour, fragrant, and appear on short spikes in the late spring/early summer. These flowers are beneficial to local pollinator species, like bees and butterflies. Cut back spent flowers to promote plant health and appearance.
Ajuga tenorii is a much tighter, less aggressive spreader than varieties of Ajuga reptans, which makes it easier to control. This dwarf buggleweed is easy to grow. It can tolerate full sun and full shade but typically does best in partial shade (4-6 hours direct sun). Princess Nadia Bugleweed is also able to grow well in a range of soil types and moisture levels.
