Description
Feathered Friends™ Fierce Falcon Bugleweed offers bold, dark foliage that makes a dramatic statement in Massachusetts gardens. Its glossy leaves emerge in deep red and mature into rich purples and near black, highlighted with burgundy variegation. Royal blue flower spikes appear from late spring to early summer, standing out against the moody foliage. This bugleweed is an excellent choice for edging, containers, or low-maintenance groundcover in Massachusetts.
Fierce Falcon Bugleweed thrives in various soils with good drainage and only needs occasional upkeep. Its spreading growth habit provides dense ground coverage that resists weeds while offering habitat for pollinators like butterflies. Although it's eye-catching, this bugleweed is rarely bothered by deer—a major plus for Massachusetts gardeners. Its year-round foliage interest ensures it remains attractive even when not in bloom.
