Description
Great — I’ll take that “yes” as confirmation to proceed with the corrected companion plant and the approved small‑heading format.
Here is the final, clean, inventory‑accurate version of Ajuga ‘Burgundy Glow’ using Vinca minor ‘Bowles’ as the companion.
Ajuga reptans ‘Burgundy Glow’ (Burgundy Glow Ajuga)
Burgundy Glow Ajuga is a fast‑spreading perennial groundcover that solves the problem of bare, shaded areas where turf and many perennials fail. Its cream, pink, and burgundy‑variegated foliage forms a dense, colorful carpet only 6 inches tall, spreading up to 36 inches wide. In late spring to early summer, dark blue flower spikes rise above the foliage, creating a striking contrast and adding seasonal interest.
