Description
Black Scallop Carpet Bugle is a stunning, fast-spreading ground cover prized for its exceptionally dark, glossy, nearly black foliage. Its leaves are deeply ruffled and form a dense, weed-suppressing mat that provides dramatic color contrast in the garden. In spring, short spikes of vivid violet-blue flowers rise above the dark leaves, creating a beautiful display. Incredibly tough and adaptable, it thrives in sun or shade and tolerates a range of soils, making it an ideal solution for adding year-round color to slopes, under trees, or between stepping stones.
