Entirely new! A sparkly NEW variegated Ajuga.  'Sparkler' has thick, dark green, shiny foliage covered in creamy-white splashes that light up the floor of a garden like nothing else.  'Sparkler' has hybrid vigor and is an awesome accent in containers, as a ground-cover, or as an edging for the border.  Lovely blue flowers. A hybrid with Ajuga decumbens.
