Feathered Friends™ ‘Fancy Finch’ Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans)

Feathered Friends™ ‘Fancy Finch’ Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans) is a low-growing, spreading perennial valued for its colourful, textured foliage and spring flower spikes. This variety features multi-toned leaves in shades of green, cream, and burgundy, providing season-long interest even when not in bloom.

In spring, Fancy Finch produces short spikes of blue flowers that rise above the foliage, attracting pollinators such as bees. Its dense, mat-forming growth habit makes it an effective groundcover for suppressing weeds and filling in shaded or partially shaded areas.

Ajuga reptans is well-suited to Canadian climates and performs reliably in Alberta when planted in appropriate conditions. It spreads gradually by runners, making it ideal for borders, underplanting, and naturalized garden spaces.
