Meet the groundcover with personality: Nova® White Ajuga delivers a lush, glossy carpet of deep green foliage formed on short internodes that hug the soil and resist becoming gangly. This evergreen perennial thrives in everything from partial sun to full shade, and its trailing yet tidy habit spreads out wide while staying a manageable height.
But it's not just about the leaves—Nova® White Ajuga breaks into a flurry of icicle‑white flower spikes in June and July, rising above the foliage to create a frosty, elegant show. The effect is both refined and energetic: a ground‑hugging performer that doesn't fade into the background. This makes it ideal for groundcover in beds or as an edging plant where you want color and texture without fuss.
What makes this cultivar especially appealing is its combination of beauty and usability. While spreading and vigorous, it isn't wildly rampant—so you get that "weed‑smothering mat" look in a controlled style. And because it tolerates a wide range of soil types (as long as drainage is adequate), it works in places where many other groundcovers struggle.

Interesting Notes About NOVA® WHITE AJUGA
- Glossy and Ground-Hugging: Short internodes keep this Ajuga variety dense and low, creating a neat, carpet-like look that's perfect for formal or informal designs.

- Shade-Loving and Sun-Tolerant: This cultivar is incredibly adaptable—equally at home basking in sun or thriving in deep shade under trees or shrubs.
- Spreads Without Stressing You Out: Vigorous enough to outcompete weeds, but polite enough to stay in its lane—no thuggish takeover here.
- Not Just Pretty—Practical: Perfect for erosion control on slopes, filling in between stepping stones, or cooling down hot garden corners with its low-maintenance charm.
