Description
The Ficus benjamina ‘Golden King’, or variegated weeping fig, is a houseplant that captivates with its bright and refined foliage. Adorned with shiny leaves edged with creamy yellow, this variety brings a touch of timeless elegance and fits seamlessly into both modern and classic décor. Versatile, it can be placed as a standalone specimen in a living room or to brighten up a well-lit corner. Easy to care for, simply provide this ficus with gentle, indirect light for it to thrive. Just avoid draughts, as they can hinder its growth.
The Ficus ‘Golden King’, from the Moraceae family, is an ornamental cultivar derived from the renowned Ficus benjamina species. This small perennial tree with an upright habit and slightly trailing branches can reach a height of 1.50 m to 2 m indoors, with a spread of up to 1.50 m. Its slender, arching branches bear ovate, smooth, and glossy leaves, measuring 5 to 10 cm in length. These leaves are delicately edged with creamy yellow against a dark green background. Its growth is rapid under favourable conditions.
Native to the tropical forests of Asia and Australia, Ficus benjamina naturally grows under dense canopies where it enjoys dappled light and constant humidity. Indoors, it prefers moderate temperatures (between 18 and 25 °C) and regular but not excessive watering. Be aware, this plant is toxic to pets and humans if ingested and may cause skin irritation. It is also known for its air-purifying properties, which help cleanse the surrounding air. Though not very hardy (with limited resistance to -2 °C), this ficus can be grown outdoors in summer in regions with very mild climates.
Bright, graceful, and easy to care for, the Ficus Golden King is highly sought after in interior decoration. Placed in a stylish pot, it becomes a centrepiece in a living space or conservatory. To keep it in top condition, choose a rich, well-draining compost and consider repotting every two years. Regular misting of its leaves helps replicate the humidity of its natural habitat and prevents browning. Lastly, rotate the pot regularly to ensure even light distribution across the foliage. This way, you’ll enjoy an elegant and long-lasting green companion. Place it beside an Ficus exotica, with its more classic foliage but weeping habit.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
