Ajuga reptans 'Pink Spire' (aka A. genevensis 'Pink Spires'), or Pink Spires Bugleweed, has longer than average spikes of bright pink flowers, six to eight inches tall, compared to the four or five inch spikes of 'Pink Beauty.'

The name Bugle or Bugleweed does not mean the musical instrument, which nothing of the plant resembles, but means 'wild ox' & has the same root as Bugloss which means "ox's tongue," perhaps in part because cattle ate just such rempant meadow flowers. But the classical botanist Linneus imaginatively named it Ajuga, meaning "has no ox's yoke," because the buds on the spike are not connected, just as a wild ox has no yoke, or is not married. The name reptans (frequently cataloged as repans) means "creeping" because of the plants rhizomic spreading habit.
