Feathered Friends™ ‘Fierce Falcon’ Bugleweed (Ajuga) boasts dark purple to near black foliage all year long. Though this perennial is mainly grown for foliage, it has cobalt blue flowers that bloom during the summer, adding even more color to the understory. If the color doesn't catch your eye, the leaves sure will after rain or morning dew. They absolutely glisten when wet! The Feathered Friends™ series offers winter hardy bugleweeds that provide year-round color. They're low maintenance and grow happily nearly anywhere they are planted, including beneath trees, in containers, or on banks and slopes. Partner them with other colorful foliage plants for a multi-seasonal, vibrant display! Developed by plant breeder extraordinaire (and Great Garden Plants co-founder) Chris Hansen in west Michigan.
