Ficus Burgundy (Ficus elastica ‘Burgundy’)

Ficus Burgundy, also known as Burgundy Rubber Plant, is a bold houseplant with large, glossy leaves in rich shades of deep green, burgundy, and nearly black. New growth often emerges wrapped in striking red sheaths, adding even more color to its dramatic foliage. Its upright, tree-like growth makes it a beautiful statement plant for bright homes and offices.

It’s a relatively easy-care ficus that thrives with bright light and consistent conditions.

Fun Fact:
Ficus Burgundy is a cultivar of the Rubber Tree, named for the milky latex sap found inside its stems and leaves—the same type of sap that inspired the plant's “rubber” nickname. 🌿
