Speaking of ajuga!

I used to have a client who lived in a retirement community, and the small planting beds in front of each home were planted for them. Their choice for hers was ajuga - which of course consumed the entire bed. I saw her on a monthly basis, and when she opened the door her first remark was consistently "I hate ajuga!" Which is why I would cringe when I saw it. Looking back on that, I laugh now. A perfectly good plant used correctly.

One of my favorite cover plants is parsley. I started some in my old garden around roses. It's fabulous because it tends to spread, but gently. It's gorgeous and it's edible.

But best of all, some of it would bloom and attract the most wonderful creatures.

And it stick around. I planted it once - these pictures are over a three year period. So it's in two places in my new yard, being encouraged to spread. The variety is "crispum" and last year I got germination from my Swallowtail seed from 2007!
