- Edging Plant: It works well as an edger along pathways or garden beds.

- Erosion Control: Ajugas can help control erosion and fill in challenging areas.

- Maintenance: After flowering, cut the plant back or use a mower on the highest setting to encourage fresh, new growth.
Deer and rabbits tend to leave it alone, which is a bonus! If you’re looking to add a splash of color to shady corners, Princess Leia is an excellent choice.
