This durable and colorful groundcover forms a dense mat of shiny, bronzy-green to purplish leaves that stay attractive year-round in mild climates. In spring, short spikes of deep blue flowers rise above the foliage, attracting bees and pollinators. ‘Bronze Beauty’ spreads by runners and fills in gaps quickly, making it ideal for suppressing weeds, covering slopes, or planting between stepping stones. It thrives in part to full shade, tolerates a variety of soils, and offers bold foliage contrast in woodland gardens or shady borders.
