It's very good ground cover so will prevent weeds from growing. It spreads very quickly but I've never had a problem clearing it away. Nothing is ever perfect.
I use ajuga as ground cover in shady or damp areas. I think mine is Caitlin's Giant taller than the normal one. The flowers are a lovely blue and the bees love them. It's very easy to thin/ pull out as the runners are on the surface and the roots aren't deep. You can pot on the offshoots if you want more plants they root easily.
Years ago I used Vinca Minor as ground cover under shrubs it was a nightmare to get rid off.

It has the potential to take over spreading by runners and roots. I'm trying to clear a bed of it at the moment
