    Hi, could anyone tell me what the name of this plant is. Its ground cover and I think its pretty common but I want to look up what care it needs. I bought a lot of plants in 3 different places a few weeks ago and not sure which place I bought it in. It didn't have a name on the pot and Google hasn't turned it up for me, so if someone could help me out that would be great!

    Just put your picture into PictureThis app and it’s saying it’s bugleweed from the Mint family:

    Description

    Bugleweed is a mat-forming ground cover that features blue flowers and dark green shiny leaves. Although it works extremely well for a ground cover that will choke out weeds and provide a colorful display, bugleweed does not tolerate foot traffic. Take care to plant it in a location that is away from paths.

    Ajuga reptans.
    Nice ground cover, spreads year on year, but easy to manage

    Really nice plant with a blue flower that doesn't need any special care, spreading but as the others have said, not rampant.

    Thanks so much for that. Flowering and low maintenance are some of my favourite words in gardening!
