Largest leaves are maybe three inches long My ajuga is an old variety and is so puny today I didn't even take a pic. Its leaves are only an inch. I bet newer ones have bigger leaves. I remember an ID thread about an ajuga vs s lyrata= I believe they are in the same family. I don't know if I could really ID one or the other in winter, except that the bigger the leaves, the more I would lean to the Salvia side. If it makes runners this spring , I say Ajuga. If no runners and blooms on a spike later in summer, Salvia. Aren't you sorry you asked now? This message was edited Feb 1, 2008 4:42 PM |
