Product description
Ficus Little Miss Figgy is a dwarf variety of ficus shrub, with an almost identical appearance to its larger counterparts, but on a scaled down level. This makes it an excellent choice for smaller gardens and patios, especially for anyone wo enjoys the appearance of larger fig plants but may not have sufficient space.
Plant Ficus Little Miss Figgy in moist, well-drained soil in a sunny spot where it will grow best. The large, deeply lobed leaves are an attractive feature, and during the autumn months they turn a stunning, rustic shade of yellow before dropping off over the winter months. The purple fruits grow along the branches in plentiful amounts, ripening towards the end of summer and into the autumn months. If it has been a particularly warm summer, there is the potential for a second crop the following spring.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
