Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Essentially appearing as a much smaller version of the more common F. pumila, the creeping fig, this small creature has shiny, rounded leaves of only a 1/3" or so and creates a slow-growing vine or groundcover. Loves dappled shade to full sun and summer water where dry though established plants are quite drought tolerant. Frost hardy to 10 to 12 °F, USDA zone 8, a little colder with protection. Very good container plant.
