Fierce Falcon is a high-performance evergreen perennial that features oversized, glossy foliage in a deep, saturated purple-black . Reaching a mature height of about 6 to 8 inches, this variety maintains a vigorous, spreading habit that forms a dense, weed-choking mat . In the spring, the dark foliage is topped with short, sturdy spikes of cobalt-blue flowers, creating a dramatic high-contrast display. Native to Europe, it is exceptionally hardy and serves as a durable, low-maintenance solution for filling bare spots or acting as a striking "spiller" in mixed seasonal containers.
Obsidian Visual Impact: Market the "fierce" nature of this plant by highlighting its glossy, near-black leaves, which offer a more dramatic look than traditional bronze Ajugas. Year-Round Texture: Remind customers that this is an evergreen groundcover, meaning it will provide that sophisticated, dark texture in the landscape long after other perennials have gone dormant . The Ultimate Filler: Position this as the perfect "living mulch" for customers who want to suppress weeds while adding a high-end, designer look to their flower beds
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
Pre-Transplant Hydration: It is absolutely critical to soak your liners for a full 24 hours before transplanting them into their final pots to ensure they are fully hydrated . Active Growing Phase: Maintain your greenhouse temperatures between 60°F and 80°F during the active spring and fall growth windows for the best results . Irrigation Technique: When setting your pots down on the bench, place them perpendicular to the watering hose to prevent uneven irrigation and ensure every plant receives consistent moisture . Fertility Levels: Use an all-purpose fertilizer with a solid Calcium-Magnesium base at a constant feed of 150 ppm Nitrogen, maintaining an EC level between 1.0 and 2.0 . Vernalization Requirement: To ensure proper rooting and consistent spring performance, these plants must undergo at least 8 weeks of vernalization at temperatures between 34°F and 40°F .
Pinching
No pinching is necessary for Fierce Falcon, as it is genetically bred to maintain a naturally tight and spreading mounded habit
Spacing
For professional production, we recommend using a standard 4.5-inch quart pot or moving up to a full gallon for spring sales . In the landscape, space these plants according to how quickly you want them to bridge gaps, as they are vigorous spreaders that will rapidly fill in open soil .
Pests
The main insect threat to scout for is root aphids, which can be controlled with a Safari drench if detected .
Disease
Botrytis and Powdery Mildew are the primary risks; the best cultural defense is to maintain high airflow and avoid overhead watering late in the day to keep the foliage dry
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
