Burgundy Rubber Plant
Ficus elastica ‘Burgundy’
The Burgundy Rubber Plant is a stunning and bold variety of the classic Rubber Tree. Its large, oblong leaves are a deep, almost blackish-green with a dramatic burgundy undertone, and striking pinkish-red central veins. New growth emerges wrapped in a bright red sheath, adding to the display. It is an exceptionally hardy and low-maintenance houseplant that tolerates lower light levels than many of its relatives, making it a superb choice for adding a touch of dark, sophisticated drama to any room.
