About My Ajuga Plants.

Question

Can you please tell me if this new growth is new Ajuga coming from the larger plants? I thought they were, but I wanted to be sure. Thank you.

Answer 1

While the tiny leaves look like ajuga leaves, the flowers do not. Ajuga has spikes in early spring. The plant spreads by underground runners forming a dense mat. So it may be something else like wild viola. It has leaves like that and tiny flowers.
