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 vine that grows easily, Creeping Fig will climb objects 20 feet or higher by aerial rootlets. Without something to climb, it will spread indefinitely forming a lovely, thick horizontal carpet across your garden (tolerating light foot traffic) and over any 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 even tolerating drought and some freezing temperatures. Willing to grow at seaside when protected behind dunes or buildings and moderately tolerant 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 shade is 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."

Plants were sent on the schedule that we were told. We uncovered them as soon as they arrived and they were green and healthy looking. We planted them the next day and they have been in the ground now for about 1 1/2 weeks and still look green and healthy... Read full review >

Ordered 48 plants. Delivered in just a few days, very well packaged. Plants were of excellent quality, and each pot contained a good sized healthy plant. Now almost three weeks later all plants are doing well. Very good experience. I have just ordered more.
Great Service, great quality

These were very healthy plants upon arrival and have done well since planted the day they were received. I would not hesitate to buy more from your website inj the future.

I was hesitant to order my plants online and have them shipped. However, these plants arrived well packaged, healthy, and happy. I would definitely buy from Classy Groundcovers again. Thanks!
