I acquired tis at a local nursery ere in theb Catskills. I have it growing in a bed surrounding an Alberta Spruce, with crocosima Lucifer popping up through it. Very attractive. Sturdy enough to fight off the goutweed problem, but nowhere near as invasive as most ajuga. Beautiful color and sheen.

This groundcover is growing around Sum and Substance Hosta. The contrasting colors are nice. The Mettalica has a glossy sheen, indeed, like metal. In this situation, it has spread VERY slowly, which is OK with me. As it has become more abundant, the blue flowers in Spring are very attractive.
