How aggressive is bugleweed?
Bugleweed spreads via stolons, runners that take root at points along its length to form new plants which enables it to quickly overrun its planting area. Bugleweed spreads quite aggressively so plant it where it won’t creep into other areas of your garden or lawn. If planted in mass, with each plant about a foot apart, this bugleweed fills in in no time; however, it also spreads up to about 3 feet wide, so plants may be spaced farther apart for more gradual coverage.
