The Weeping Fig is one of the most popular indoor plants, being somewhere between an ornamental tree and a shrub. It grows densely packed glossy leaves giving it a very stylish look. Very compact as well, it offers great value in the amount of green it brings to any space. Light and Water It’s very adaptable to differing light conditions, as it will tolerate most, but prefers bright indirect light. Avoid the extremes of direct sunlight (this can burn its leaves) and completely shaded areas. In terms of water, it likes humid environments and water when the top two inches of soil feels dry. So, frequent misting and a pebble water tray will help in keeping it humid, while checking the soil every 2-3 days to check for dryness. Do not let the soil dry out completely between watering as you always want to keep the soil moist. You can also encourage it to grow more strongly by giving it a feed with plant fertiliser once a month in spring and summer. It will grow naturally I a tree formation, but you can prune it to a desired shape as well.
Dazzling and luxurious double and semi-double flowers create a blaze of bright summer colour. These dwarf classics have a compact, bushy habit - great for lavish bedding schemes and containers. Each plant produces a mass of flowers, often revealing a yellow centre as they age. They are perfect for pots and planters, or in borders dotted around to fill in gaps and as colourful and neat edging plants for pathways and borders. They'll form tidy clumps and all you'll need to do is deadhead them to keep the flowers coming. Supplied as 20 garden ready plants.

Picking plump, juicy figs straight from a tree is one of those pleasures that really has to be experienced - especially when you then serve them up with wafer thin slices of Parma ham and a drizzle of honey. Divine! This fig tree is a variety of green fig - Ficus carica - grown commercially by Iberian growers for its masses of large, pear-shaped fruit with deep red flesh that are ready for picking in late summer and early autumn. This is a variety seldom offered for sale in the UK, so you can be one of the first to own this fantastic quality fig tree. Fortunately, even before the fruit is ripe, your tree will add presence to your garden as its branches are clothed with large, deeply lobed leaves. Despite originating from a warmer climate, this amazing fig is incredibly tough, easily shrugging off temperatures down to -15C in the UK. Extremely drought tolerant when established, figs do best in a brightly lit, sunny spot. Keep plants productive and compact by restricting roots by growing in large pots or planting in 60cm square planting holes fill the base with a layer of gravel and line sides with paving slabs. Plants are supplied as a 1-1.2m tall whip in a 3L pot.

If in doubt, err towards spring but remember to keep pots well-watered so that the soil does not dry out.- Shrub roots generally tend to spread out rather than down, so dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting, and mix some well rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill one the shrub is in place.- We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.- Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.- Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.- Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.- Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot.- Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).- Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.- Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.- Alternatively plant in a large container filled with good quality, soil-based compost.Aftercare Advice for your Ficus:- If youre planting in spring or summer, water well and regularly for the first few months.- Once planted, keep the area free of competing weeds and grass for the first couple of growing seasons.Pruning Advice for Brown Turkey Fig:- This standard tree should be pruned to keep its shape and size. When pruning, aim for a balanced top that allows light into the centre of the canopy.- Prune twice a year:- Early spring: remove any branches that spoil the shape, or any that are crossing or damaged, along with any suckers appearing from the ground or lower stem. If needed cut back one or two branches that have become too long and bare to a 5cm (2in) stub to stimulate new growth from the base of the branch.- Early summer: pinch out the new growth at five or six leaves. Do not prune later growth.Planting Time:All yearFlowering Time:March - AprilFruiting Time:August - SeptemberAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

In around 1680 a fig was discovered in the gardens of the palace of Versailles, in France, that was thriving during the cold winter. From this the variety, 'Violette de Bordeaux' was created, and it continues to have great tolerance to colder weather compared to other fig types.
