bugle blue

The Bugleweed is now blooming in the corner of my front bed

where I tried to dig it out and move it last year!

The spot I moved the plants to, under my front yard trees, has a few that bloomed but the spikes aren't as big, nor the color as good.

I find I much prefer bugleweed to grape hyacinths. The color is bolder, and I don't like the hyacinth foliage that looks like grass overgrown into my flowerbed. Bugleweed foliage lies low to the ground, unobtrusive yet keeping weeds smothered. As long as it doesn't get invasive... which is why I want it mostly in the beds around the trees, which have higher walls to keep it contained.
