Ficus pumila – Creeping Fig

Ficus pumila, commonly known as Creeping Fig, is a versatile, fast-growing vine that also functions as a dense, evergreen groundcover. Its small, heart-shaped leaves and clinging habit allow it to cover soil, walls, and even rocks quickly—making it an excellent solution for shaded garden areas and ground-level greening.

Key Features:

• Small, dense foliage creates a soft, carpet-like effect

• Evergreen in warm climates for year-round coverage

• Grows well in partial shade and filtered sunlight

• Helps suppress weeds and retain soil moisture

• Also climbs walls, fences, and trellises if trained

Ideal For:

• Shaded groundcover beneath trees or in narrow beds

• Courtyard gardens and vertical garden transitions

• Covering unsightly soil areas, walls, or containers

• Formal gardens needing a low, uniform green base

Growing Tips:

• Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil with organic content

• Watering: Regular watering, especially during dry spells

• Light: Partial shade to filtered sun; tolerates some full sun

Note: Ficus pumila spreads vigorously—great for fast coverage, but regular trimming helps maintain boundaries.
