Ficus ‘Anastasia’ 17 Cm

The Ficus benjaminas of yesterday are gone! Say hello to Cling-On ‘Anastasia’, a benjamina that has been bred to have leaves that resist dropping; they literally cling to this ficus. ‘Anastasia’ has slender, arching branches that carry shiny, variegated leaves of light and dark green. She can take on the form of a small tree, or grow as a multi-stemmed plant with a bushy habit. In order to keep your ‘Anastasia’ showing her most prominent variegation, she needs to be given plenty of bright light, such as can be found in a west- or south-facing window.
