Very beautiful plant, the one I received didn't seem in excellent condition, but actually it was only March so I think that was normal. I planted it in early April, my ajuga adapted very quickly to its new location, and is already flowering! That seems promising ????

Description
Original and charming, Ajuga tenorii 'Princess Nadia' is a brand new variety of creeping bugle offering a superb combination of colours. Its vegetation is very compact, its foliage is multi-coloured and changing, and its generous spring flowers, of a very bright royal blue hade, bloom again in late summer. This perennial forms spreading clumps composed of numerous small variegated narrow leaves, which remain decorative in winter. Perfect in slightly wild areas of the garden, but also in pots and containers, this bugle is best grown in shade, partial shade, or gentle sun, in soil that remains moist. A lovely plant that requires no maintenance!
The 'Princess Nadia' bugle, derived from the lovely hybrid variety 'Chocolate Chip', received a Plantarium Award in 2019. This perennial plant belongs to the Lamiaceae family. It has slower growth than its relative, Ajuga reptans, and is never invasive. It is a compact and colourful variety that forms clumps of flowering stems, 20 cm (8in) high. Plants are composed of small leaves that are very different from more common varieties. They are oval and elongated, shiny, and variegated. The plant produces weakly stoloniferous stems that root themselves, allowing it to eventually form a cushion about 40cm (16in) in diameter. Its young spring leaves are purplish-cream with edges of scarlet pink, then gradually turn almond green bordered with white-cream. This colouring is retained by the foliage during the coldest months. From May-June, short spikes composed of small flowers of intense blue appear just above the foliage at the tip of each stem. They bloom for over a month. This variety often produces a few flower spikes in September.
The Ajuga x tenorii 'Princess Nadia' is planted along borders of beds or paths, between stones in fresh rockeries, in flower beds, or even in pots and containers to adorn the balcony or terrace. Its beautiful colours blend beautifully with the grey of santolines and lavenders, for example, but also with purple foliage (Berberis thunbergii Atropurpurea Nana, Physocarpus Little Devil...). Bugles are among the best creeping plants; they are perfect for dressing the base of trees and bushes, in pots or shady beds in association with spring bulbs, Lamium, and fairy flowers (Epimedium). In fresh rockeries, they can be planted next to Acaena 'Blue Haze' or buchananii, Azorella trifurcata 'Nana', lady's mantle, and saxifrages.

Planting and care
Ajuga tenorii 'Princess Nadia' does not tolerate prolonged drought well. It prefers shade or partial shade in a soil rich in humus, even clay. It can be planted throughout the year in shaded areas and in moist soil. It is very easy to cultivate and can tolerate any type of soil, from the poorest to the richest. Beware of slugs! Remove faded flowers by mowing in summer, this will increase the density of the plants and prevent it from thinning out in the centre. You can limit its spread by removing excess runners at the end of winter or in autumn, but this variety is very well-behaved and spreads very little on the ground.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
