Ficus vaccinioides

Formosan Creeping Fig is a low growing evergreen that can be used as a groundcover that mounds slightly, as a climber along a low wall or fence or as a nice container plant, trimmed for topiary work. Originating from South Taiwan, Ficus vacciniodes is member of the fig family (Moraceae). It has small obovate deep green glossy leaves with dark reddish brown stems that root at the internodes. The desirable feature of this plant is its ornamental foliage. Plant in full sun to light shade in well-draining soil. Medium water needs. (Pot size: 1 gallon)
