Ajuga reptans 'Catlin's Giant' (Catlin's Carpet Bugle) - A very hardy groundcover that quickly spreads to make a lustrous mat of green leaves with a bronze tinge. In the spring, blue-purple flower spikes rise above the foliage. It prefers to grow in cool sun or part shade, with regular watering. Grows to about 1' x 2-3'. Hardy to well <0 degrees F. The plant we grew for many years (since 1995) as 'Catlin's Giant' is not what is currently being grown under this name by most nurseries. We have switched to growing the commonly accepted form with smaller more bronze leaves and continue to grow the larger green leafed plant we listed for many years under this name as Ajuga reptans 'Jungle Beauty'.  Information displayed on this page about  Ajuga reptans 'Catlin's Giant' is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
