My last spring plant combination includes a tropical twist of bright, warm colors. Just as the first two, I have my consistent ajuga, plus included two additional tasty plants in this simple arrangement. This planting is for full sun in zone 5. The plants in this design include: Ajuga reptans 'Mahogony' / Bugleweed Thymus x citriodorus ‘variegata’/ Variegated Lemon Thyme Kniphofia ‘Mango Popsicle’ / Dwarf Poker What I like most about this combination: Has a tropical feel, if you're needing that in the Midwest U.S. The contrast of leaf textures...coarse ajuga leaves to the medium kniphofia leaves to the fine thymus leaves. The low groundcovers setting a nice base for the strong upright form of the kniphofia. A unique warm color combination of the oranges and yellows to the mahogany.
