Ajuga Caitlin's Giant with Geum Bremners NectarineAjuga:

Common name: Bugle.

Great ground cover for shade or part shade. Invaluable nectar source for early flying bumble bees. Spreads by rooting runners that are easy to dig up and plant elsewhere. Fine if completely overshadowed by other plants in summer.

A member of the Lamiaceae family (Dead Nettles) although Ajuga have glossy leaves not at all like the usual hairy, soft leaves of this family.
