Brighten up your garden beds and containers with the colorful charm of Small Leaf Petite Parakeet Ajuga. This low-growing groundcover features compact, glossy foliage in shades of deep green, purple, and burgundy, topped with vibrant lavender-blue flower spikes in spring. Its small, finely textured leaves and tight growth habit make it an excellent choice for edging, between stepping stones, or as a lush filler in shady spots.
 
Petite Parakeet stands out for its refined, miniature foliage and neat, clumping form.
