Description

Sweet and English-cottage in appearance, Ficus Pumila, commonly called Creeping Fig, is a staple evergreen groundcover in warmer climates where a rich carpet of covering color is desired. A small, tidy, woody vinethat grows easily, Creeping Fig will climbobjects 20 feet or higher by aerialrootlets.Without something to climb, it will spreadindefinitely forming a lovely, thick horizontal carpet across your garden (tolerating light foot traffic) and overany rock walls or out of elevated planters.

With waxy-green leaves 2-4 inches long, it has a fast growth rate and (once mature) is entirely willing to fend for itself eventolerating droughtand some freezing temperatures.Willing to grow at seaside when protected behind dunes or buildings and moderatelytolerant of salt,Creeping Fig is a lovely juxtaposition to Palms and any other clump-forming tropicals.

Ficus pumila prefers moist, well-drained, organically rich, loamy soil.Partial shadeis preferable, but it tolerates full sun.When considering a strong design element in a landscape, this is a perfect choice for creating a vivid, low-maintenance focal point.

Things To Note Creeping Fig will destroy most wooden structures because of its hardy constitution, so choose your location wisely.Rock walls are a wonderful option. The glossiness and shade of foliage may vary depending on climate and environment.

Interesting Facts A relative of the edible fig, Creeping Fig is in fact a true fig that under the right conditions, actually produces a small fruit.Many Asian markets sell it in a jelly form called “grass jelly.”
