As a ground cover (it is a dwarf variety of ajuga, which is in the mint family), this evergreen foliage ground cover is attractive year-round, with chocolate brown, bronze, and maroon hues. In spring, its clusters of purple-blue flowers. Chocolate Chip is well-suited for growing under shade trees, between path pavers, on slopes, or anywhere else that color and texture are needed. Although we've seen it growing in full sun, it seems to prefers partial to full shade and humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil. It is native to Europe, northern Africa, and southwestern Asia. Considered a perennial in zones 4-9.
