aka Creeping Fig

A useful plant for covering up anything ugly or unsightly - in the garden that is. Self clinging aerial roots clamber along walls, up fences, water tanks etc. Small juvenile foliage is an attractive bronze green. Grow in sun/part shade and needs protection from harsh frost. Evergreen.

This is a plant that I am never without in the garden. I prefer the small mature leaves and usually trim off the more mature rangy growth. Creeping Fig does not like harsh frost and will show signs of some stress in very cold winters but usually recovers well.
