Ficus Pumila Creeping Fig (also known as Climbing Fig) is native to Japan, eastern China, and Vietnam. It is most commonly used as a climbing groundcover alongside walls, fences, or arbors. It grows 10-25 feet tall and spreads 3-6 feet wide. It can be grown in containers to control spread. It is often grown as an annual outside of zones 9-11 and it can also be grown as a houseplant where it does particularly well in hanging containers. It prefers partly shady areas, but will tolerate full sun in moist, well-drained soil. In outdoor applications, it will produce small purple fruits which aren't edible. This prolific free-climber is drought tolerant and pairs well in containers or landscapes with Crossvine, Passion Flower, Witch Hazel, Raphiolepsis, and Trachycarpus. For a much smaller, slow-growing Creeping Fig, try Ficus Pumila Quercifolia.

Before we take this relationship any further...
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.
