Notes
Fig (Ficus petiolaris) is a tree with green blooms. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Outdoors, it can reach 20 to 30 feet tall and wide, so give it plenty of room.
Pairs well with Gumbo limbo, Cycad, and Pink jasmine.
