Lynne's notes:

Ajuga as a species is often despised as weedy ground cover. This seems very unfair to me. 'Catlin's Giant' is larger than its peers in foliage and flower. When grown well on soil which does not dry out, it forms a stunning mat of glossy, bronze tinted, green foliage. The spikes of rich blue flowers which appear in spring are really lovely.
