Notes
'Samantha' weeping fig (Ficus benjamina 'Samantha') is a tree for containers, specimen planting, and hedges. 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 sun to full shade and dry to moist soil of most types. It has several trunks and stays evergreen. Growth is moderate, so it fills a spot at a steady pace.
Pairs well with Spineless yucca, Spider plant, and Mock orange.
