Collection: Ficus

An evergreen shrub or tree with drooping branches, the leaves are alternate, simple, long-tipped, and glossy.  The flowers and fruits are enclosed in a fleshy sac that turns from green to orange-red to red and then purplish black.

Ficus benjaminia is a very popular houseplant because of its tolerance of poor growing conditions.  It performs best in bright sunny locations but will also survive in shade.
