Getting To Know Princess Leia Ajuga Reptans - July 2026
You've heard of Chocolate Chip. And Burgundy Glow. But...I came across something new (to me) at the big box store: Princess Leia Ajuga. It is green and white and has foliage that appears to be in-between sizing (in-between the smaller Chocolate Chip foliage and the broader Burgundy Glow foliage). Below are the quart-sized plants for $7: Here's what Wayside Gardens says about Princess Leia : Ajuga Princess Leia is an evergreen perennial offering year-round interest. A highly popular plant, Princess Leia quickly creates a striking and colorful carpet of uniquely patterned, variegated green and white leaves that's blanketed in whorls of deep purple flowers in spring. Nectar-rich, the flower spikes are extremely attractive to bees. Star Wars in the garden? What's not to like about that? I can think of two dozen spots for this groundcover in our garden.
