Ajuga Feathered Friends™ Cordial Canary

Common Name:
Ajuga Feathered Friends™ 'Cordial Canary'

Description:
Ajuga Feathered Friends™ 'Cordial Canary' is a stunning ground cover variety known for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage that holds its colour beautifully across the seasons. Part of the Feathered Friends™ collection, this cultivar brings a cheerful, luminous presence to shady or semi-shaded garden areas. In spring, it produces spikes of deep blue flowers that contrast beautifully against the brilliant foliage. It has a low, spreading habit that makes it ideal for borders, underplanting, mixed containers, and mass planting beneath trees or shrubs. Perfectly suited to Melbourne’s climate, 'Cordial Canary' performs best in moist, well-drained soils and is especially valuable for adding colour in shaded spots where many other plants struggle. It is a low-maintenance and fast-establishing option that suppresses weeds and delivers year-round ornamental appeal.
