Bugle Feathered Friends™ 'Petite Parakeet', Carpet Bugle Feathered Friends™ 'Petite Parakeet', Carpetweed Feathered Friends™ 'Petite Parakeet'
Ajuga Feathered Friends™ ‘Petite Parakeet’ (Carpet Bugle) is a vigorous evergreen perennial prized for its buff-colored small leaves adorned with orange central veins, which quickly form a dense carpet of attractive rosettes. In spring and summer, the foliage is topped with pretty cobalt-blue flower spikes. Carpet Bugle is valued as a wonderful spreader making a colorful groundcover that remains attractive most of the year. Thriving in shady areas where grass has difficulty growing, Ajuga plants are great for woodland gardens. Low-maintenance and highly versatile, their great foliage colors make them perfect for planting under trees or shrubs, or on banks or slopes. While a dense mat will help suppress weeds, avoid planting near perennial beds or lawns where its spreading nature could pose removal problems.
