Ajuga invasive question

| I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not ajuga is detrimental to other surrounding plants, or should I say the other plants it surrounds? I really love the way it covers the ground, but I worry that it will harm the other plants in the area-these include sedum, lillies, bachelor's button, etc. Thanks for any help you can offer. |

| Hi Scott, Ajuga wouldn't hurt lilies, but it's possible it could start to crowd out some sedums or other plants, but it spreads on the surface, so it's pretty easy to control. Just pull or dig out any that you feel is getting to close to something where it looks like it's starting to push it out or smother it. And any you pull or dig up can be transplanted somewhere else if there's somewhere you want it, or you can give it away and make some new friends. Skybird |

I have Ajuga in a bed with lots of other plants both big and small and it does fine.It spreads pretty quick but I just keep an eye on it and easily pull some up when it starts getting too out of hand.

| Thank you Skybird and janice c. I really appreciate your help. I guess I will just have to be vigilant and keep it out of my sedum. Thanks again. |
