A large bugle, good ground-cover for a partially shaded area, Ajuga reptans Catlin's Giant is a small, vigorous, semi-evergreen perennial with a mat-forming habit. The rosettes of leaves are glossy green flushed purplish brown, and persist through the winter in mild areas. From April to August, rich blue flowers with purple-brown calyces are carried on 12”/30cm erect spikes above the leaves. After flowering, glossy new rosettes of leaves flushed purplish-brown appear. Very easy to grow, bugle Catlin's Giant holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
