Creeping Fig
Ficus pumila
Ficus pumila, commonly known as Creeping Fig, is a versatile, woody evergreen vine that utilizes aerial rootlets to climb walls or trail from containers. Its juvenile foliage is remarkably small and delicate, creating a dense, mat-like appearance that adds texture to interior spaces and sheltered outdoor areas. This plant is prized for its ability to quickly cover surfaces, making it an excellent choice for vertical displays or lush, trailing foliage in mixed containers.
Creeping Fig is a vigorous, self-clinging evergreen vine known for its small, heart-shaped leaves and rapid growth habit.
