Water Ajuga X regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not saturated.
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
Prune Ajuga X after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage denser growth. Deadhead spent flower spikes to prevent self-seeding and improve the plant's appearance. You can also cut back overgrown stems.
Ajuga X is easily propagated by division or stem cuttings. Divisions can be made in spring or fall. Stem cuttings taken in early summer will root readily in moist soil or a propagation medium.
Repotting is generally not necessary for Ajuga X as it is a groundcover and tends to spread. If grown in containers, repot when plants become root-bound, typically every 2-3 years, in spring.
