In this short video, Bailey from TN Nursery showcases Lyreleaf Sedge, a native ground‑cover plant often called “native ajuga.” Bailey highlights its size (about 18‑19 inches tall), bell‑shaped flowers, multiple stems per plant, and its striking appearance when in bloom, which makes it look less like a typical ground cover. The plant thrives in poor, hillside soils, tolerates both full sun and shade, and is presented as a superior alternative to ajuga and bugleweed because of its prettier blooms. The segment ends with a promotional call‑to‑action directing viewers to tnursery.net, offering a buy‑one‑get‑one‑free deal on the plants.

Hey everyone, it's Bailey with TN Nursery, and today I'm showing you some of our Lyreleaf Sedge. Now look at that. This is about, uh, about 18 or 19 inches high, and they are absolutely beautiful. Look, they have beautiful bell-shaped flowers, and this is a ground cover, and it don't look like a ground cover when it is blooming, but it is a ground cover. And look at all the stems. Now this is all coming off of one plant down here at the bottom, and and it's got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 stems coming off of it, just full of blooms. You can't go wrong growing this. This is called lyreleaf sedge. Not many people know about it, but a lot of people call it the native ajuga because it looks a lot like ajuga and bugleweed. And but they bloom a lot prettier than ajuga and bugleweed. Look at that. This is on a really poor soil, uh, hillside. They do really good in poor soil and they love sunshine, but they can grow in shade too. Shop now at tnursery.net. We have these beautiful plants, buy one get one free.
