Question
I'm looking to purchase Ajuga for a ground cover. I live in Brooklyn NY.  I cannot find anyone selling this perennial. Do you know where I can purchase it?

Answer
John,
I guess garden centers are just stocking plants that put on big,colorful blooms to catch their customers. That's just business. But,usually a local nursery,if it is fairly good size should have some I would think.Ajuga is easy to grow and does spread rapidly to make an excellent groundcover. The following companies are my list of the best:
White Flower Farm,Jackson & Perkins,Bluestone Perennials,Shady Oaks Nursery,Van Bourgondien & Sons,Van Dycks,Wayside Gardens,Dutch Gardens,Walter's Gardens
All of these companies have web sites.
Have a great Spring!
