A genus of flowering plants in the mint family, commonly called bugleweed, with small blue or purple flowers and attractive foliage.
From Latin 'ajuga' (origin uncertain, possibly from Greek 'a-' meaning 'without' + 'zygon' meaning 'yoke,' though this is disputed). Named for the plant's characteristics.
Ajuga is native to Eurasia but has become a beloved ground cover in gardens worldwide because it's nearly indestructible—it'll grow where almost nothing else will, spreading vigorously in shade with minimal care, making it the lazy gardener's best friend.
