Ajuga reptans
Ajuga reptans has dark green leaves with purple highlights. It is a spreading ground cover that grows in a dense mat. The leaves grow 5–8 cm (2–3 in) high but in the spring it sends up 10–15 cm (4–6 in) tall flower stalks with many purple flowers on them.
Natural from Europe, it grows in meadows, in scrub edges and woodland borders. Found in the woods bordering Loch Lomond.
