Making New Plants by Dividing // Ajuga

Charlotte, NC Zone 7b
Zenith Zoysia from SEED - 35,000 square feet
This is a simple method of making new plants by dividing the mother plant. The plant we’re working with today is Chocolate Chip Ajuga. It is a dense perennial groundcover that loves full sun areas. It is extremely hardy, with beautiful purple-green foliage and purple springtime flowers. The foliage remains in place year round in my region, but may not depending on your location.
Making new plants by dividing the mother plant is an easy method to expand your groundcover without breaking the banks. With a little bit of effort and occasional watering, you can have as many plants as you’re willing to make.
This method can be done with many plants, especially perennials. You can find a lot of information about specific plants on line, or just experiment for yourself!

I learnt so much from this video. I wish I had tilled my beds - I'm on thick clay here in the UK and did the 'no dig' method, where the compost stays on the top. It's so dry and I have to water most days. I think I will start tilling from now on. Thanks so much for this great video!

I’m glad it was helpful!
There are a lot of different gardening techniques that work, but I definitely think incorporating amendments into the soil gives a better end result. I’ve seen similar results in my turf grass.

Excellent work. What was the electric tool you used that broke up the soil?

[@ZoysiaRUs]

It was a tiller attachment for my stihl powerhead

I have the same plants along with a couple other vatieties of ajuga but in a loam type soil. in only a few months since planting they have started sending runners. It does seem as though the chocolate chip is much more of a clumping type than the others but still send a few runners out here and there.

[@ZoysiaRUs]

I agree. I don’t have experience with the other ajuga species but this one started as definite clumps but has since formed a dense mat.

They do not need mulch
I also would have used a leaf blower verses water to clear the stone off

[@ZoysiaRUs]

I prefer not to stare at mud while they fill in.
