	I love the ajuga plant, it's easy to grow, blocks out weeds and is just beautiful when it blooms. What else can you ask?

	Love it too. It puts on the most impressive spring show, stays manageable through the year. Here Wix Boyle did a Glog poem to it, called "Purple Love": http://www.yourgardenshow.com/users/wixboyle/purple-lawn-and-garden-love/slideshow/2605?referrer=photo-1
