🌿 Ficus elastica ‘Burgundy’
(Rubber Plant Burgundy)
Moody. Sculptural. Striking.
Ficus ‘Burgundy’ is known for its large, glossy leaves in deep green to near-black tones with rich burgundy undertones. The dramatic coloring makes it feel elevated and modern, while the thick, upright growth habit gives it strong architectural presence.
This is not a filler plant.
It is a statement.
At House of Ivy, this is the plant we use when a room needs weight, depth, and contrast.
