A compact ground cover with rich chocolate color.

Ajuga Chocolate Chip forms a dense, low mat of narrow chocolate-brown to burgundy foliage that adds color and texture at ground level. Its smaller leaves and compact habit make it especially useful in tighter spaces where larger ground covers may spread too aggressively or look too coarse.

Blue flower spikes brighten the spring garden.

In spring, short spikes of blue to blue-purple flowers rise above the foliage, adding a cheerful seasonal display. The blooms attract pollinators and create a beautiful contrast against the dark, chocolate-toned leaves.

A practical choice for shade and part shade.

Chocolate Chip Ajuga performs well in part shade and shaded garden beds, making it useful where turfgrass often struggles. Use it under shrubs, along woodland edges, near walkways, in rock gardens, or between stepping stones where a low, colorful plant is needed.

Evergreen to semi-evergreen texture with easy care.

This low-maintenance ground cover is evergreen to semi-evergreen in many climates, helping keep beds looking finished beyond the main growing season. Once established, its dense mat can help reduce open soil and create a clean, planted look with minimal upkeep.

Deer-resistant coverage for small spaces and containers.

Ajuga Chocolate Chip is considered deer-resistant and rabbit-resistant, making it a practical choice for gardens with browsing pressure. Its compact size also makes it excellent for containers, mixed shade planters, edging, and small-scale ground cover plantings.
