Description:

A variegated form of the traditional green Creeping Fig vine, this selection is adorned with creamy white margins that will brighten up a wall or wrap up around a miniature arbor in the fairy garden. It is self-clinging and looks good covering the walls of the larger fairy houses. Variegated Creeping Fig is a relative of edible figs and tropical trees, but it is a tender, evergreen vine. It is native to eastern Asia and has distinctive juvenile and mature forms. The juvenile form features slender, fuzzy branches and small, white variegated heart-shaped leaves. When it matures, it is an aggressive vine which clings to most surfaces including metal, wood, and concrete with its strong adhesive, aerial rootlets. Used in a miniature planter or in a terrarium, it is easy to keep at its best by cutting it back.
