Passing on some bits of a nice ground cover plant originally given to me by a fellow freecycler a few years ago.
Bugle aka ajuga reptans is an easy going low growing spreading hardy herbaceous perennial (leaves die each winter, but it comes back and flowers every spring). It likes a bit of shade and damp ground. It seems to do well on my sticky clay in a dark corner. It has nice shiny bronze/purply leaves with dark flower spikes opening to pretty blue flowers beloved of pollinators.
It spreads by creeping over the ground and it can spread quickly, but it's not really a problem because it's easy to pull out since it has shallow roots. They you can give away chunks as I am doing...
