Silver Queen Bugleweed is a low-growing groundcover, a dense evergreen mat topped with blue spikes each spring. Silver Queen Bugleweed flowers in spring in shades of silver, and performs best in full sun to part shade with low watering once established. This groundcover matures to roughly 4-10 inches tall and 1-2 feet wide. It is ideal for edging beds, softening pathways, and holding soil on slopes, offering low-maintenance cover and weed suppression. Hardy to zones 3-9 and simple to care for, it settles in quickly and performs year after year. It tolerates dry spells well once its roots are down.
