Label states :- New and unusual fig with eye catching foliage that turns purple then yellow in the autumn . so new we are not sure what fruit is like yet ??? Interesting !! ..
In early summer ,it is covered with numerous large dense clusters of star-shaped pale purple-pink flowers with waxy petals and yellow stamens , plant in full sun but will tolerate partial shade .
Height and spread 4ft

A very interesting plant, indeed! Will be interesting as well to see what the leaves look like in a few weeks time & also when it fruits. In the mean time you have the great looking foliage to look at!

I have to agree, it’s definitely an all rounder plant! It has a bit of everything doesn’t it! Look forward to seeing more pics as it starts to settle in and flourish.
