Characteristics
The Ajuga reptans Chocolate Chips is an evergreen, low-growing plant. The name 'Chocolate Chips' refers to the chocolate brown colour of the leaves. The flowers are blue and appear in late spring through to early summer. The plant tends to spread quickly, making this species an efficient ground cover.
