Catlin's Giant bugleweed is a star performer in my Zone 7b north Georgia mountains garden. I planted a quart-size transplant for the local nursery in spring 2021. Two years later, it had spread 2-3 feet in each direction. The purple-green leaves give rise to showy purple flower spikes in late spring, blooming along with the dogwoods. The purple leaves continue through the summer and autumn, and die-back significantly in late autumn, though not completely.
