Plant Overview

Black Scallop Bugleweed is a stunning groundcover that adds dramatic color and texture to any garden. Its deep purple-black foliage creates a rich carpet of color throughout the growing season. The scalloped leaves form dense mats that effectively suppress weeds while small spikes of blue flowers emerge in late spring, creating a beautiful contrast against the dark foliage.

Plant Information

Plant Care

Black Scallop Bugleweed is a low-maintenance perennial that requires minimal attention once established. Regular watering during the first growing season helps develop a strong root system. While tolerant of various conditions, it performs best in partially shaded areas with consistent moisture. Trim back spent flower stalks to maintain appearance and prevent self-seeding. In spring, remove any winter-damaged foliage to promote healthy new growth.

Planting Instructions

Plant Black Scallop Bugleweed in spring or fall, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart. Dig holes twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around plants, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system.
