Growth—
Ajuga pantantha is found in the subtropical climate of southwest China, where it grows at elevations from 2,400 - 2,700 metres. It is likely to tolerate at least some frost, and should succeed outdoors at least in the milder regions of the temperate zone. Plants in this genus usually prefer a humus-rich, moisture retentive soil and a sunny position[1].
