The Newest Collection Of Colorful, Hardy Bugleweeds
Bugleweed (Ajuga) is a powerhouse in the garden. This foolproof perennial groundcover is durable and low maintenance, making gardening a breeze. Varieties like ‘Chocolate Chip’ and ‘Black Scallop’ have gained popularity among gardeners for their colorful and textured foliage, blue flower spikes, and easy-going nature. While we cherish these classics, there’s a new series of bugleweed that deserves a spot in your garden! Introducing Feathered Friends™ from Garden Solutions: a series of hardy bugleweeds selected for color, vigor, and year-round interest.

'Cordial Canary'
Feathered Friends™ ‘Cordial Canary’ bugleweed takes everything you love about ‘Chocolate Chip’ and turns it gold. Never seen a golden Ajuga before? That’s because this one is the very first! Brilliant yellow foliage instantly brightens shaded areas as it spreads through the garden. Even when the rest of the garden is dull and brown in the winter, this bugleweed continues to shine in warmer climates.
'Fancy Finch'
'Fierce Falcon'
'Noble Nightingale'
I will admit, ‘Noble Nightingale’ is the staff favorite among the Feathered Friends™! Their narrow, sleek foliage stays looking tidy, even when planted in large masses. Foliage emerges as a dark green and takes on darker purple hues as they mature. It’s the perfect way to add darker foliage to the understory for contrast. Waves of blue flowers add extra color when they bloom late spring and early summer!
'Parrot Paradise'
'Petite Parakeet'
‘Petite Parakeet’ earns its name for its smaller, slender foliage. But what its foliage lacks in size, it makes up for in color! Newly emerged leaves take on orange-colored central veins and leaf edges. The cobalt blue flowers pair nicely with the orange-hued foliage!
'Tropical Toucan'
Pick one of the Feathered Friends™ to completely blanket your garden with one color, or pick a few of them to mix and match in the landscape! Either way, you can’t go wrong.
