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.
The ravishingly ruffled and delicately fragranced violet blooms of bearded Iris Germanica ?Rosalie Figgie? have falls tinged with deep purple.
Also known as ?Tiger Fig? this unusual variety bears brightly striped yellow and green fruit.
Ficus Benjamina ‘Anastasia’ is also known as the 'Weeping Fig'. This is a beautiful classic indoor plant ideal for the house or office being prized for its many glossy dark variegated foliage. As a bonus it also filters toxins purifying the air! Light and Water This ornamental tree is very adaptable in terms of light; soil and weather growing with minimal care both in-doors and out in warm climates. It will tolerate lower light, but prefers bright, indirect light, and just asks that it not be allowed to dry out. Try rotating it once a week so it grows towards the light and keeps straight. You can also encourage it to grow more strongly by giving it a feed with plant fertiliser once a month in spring and summer. Water the soil to keep it moist but not soggy, allow the top two inches of the soil to dry out before watering again to maintain its ideal wetness. Mist regularly to keep the leaves healthy and green as this is the plant can also absorb moisture through their leaves.
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.
