Notes
'Celeste' fig (Ficus carica 'Celeste') is a shrub for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows fast and reaches 6 to 10 feet tall and wide. The upright form fills a sunny spot quickly, and birds visit the plant.
Pairs well with Hazelnut, Calendula, and Sweet woodruff.
