Description

One among the new Feathered Friends Ajuga Series, ‘Fierce Falcon’ boasts darks shades of burgundy, purple and near black foliage all year long. Though this perennial is mainly grown for foliage, as an extra-added bonus it produces cobalt blue flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. If the color doesn’t catch your eye, the leaves sure will after rain or morning dew. They absolutely glisten when wet!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a carpet-like patch to 4 to 6 inches tall and spreading 12-18 inches or more, Fierce Falcon Ajuga is a wonderful choice for use as a colorful groundcover in shady to partially shaded areas. With consistently moist soil this variety will tolerate full sun in the South. Also ideal for use as a spreading border along paths and walkways, as a groundcover to fill in around shrubs in home foundation plantings and woodland areas, as a gap and crevice filler between pavers and stones, as an underplanting for shrubs and trees, tucked around boulders in rock gardens, as a soil cover in combination container gardens. A fine addition to black theme gardens, rock gardens, and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 12 to 18 inches apart for mass plantings and solid borders

Growing Preferences

When planted right and in the right spot, Fierce Falcon Ajuga is easy to grow. It adapts to most soil types and likes shade to part shade. Morning sun or all day filtered sun is fine. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. Overly dry soils will require supplemental irrigation. As with many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic.
