Ajuga macrosperma, commonly known as Large-Seed Bugleweed, is an evergreen perennial herb that is native to moist grasslands and open forest areas in South and Southeast Asia, including the Himalayas. It typically grows to a height of 0.4-1 feet (0.1-0.3 meters) and spreads 0.2-0.5 feet (0.06-0.2 meters) wide, forming dense mats of foliage. The plant features rosettes of dark green, glossy leaves and produces spikes of blue, purple, and white flowers that are quite showy during the spring and summer months.

Large-Seed Bugleweed is valued for its ground-covering abilities, low maintenance, and the vibrant color it adds to garden beds and borders. It is often used in rock gardens, as underplanting for shrubs, or in containers. This Ajuga prefers consistently moist, well-drained soils and can tolerate a range of light conditions from full sun to part shade. While it is generally easy to grow, it can be susceptible to crown rot in overly wet conditions and may require division every few years to maintain vigor.CC BY-SA 4.0
