Dark, dramatic, and impossibly sophisticated — the Ficus Elastica 'Burgundy' is the rubber plant that makes every other plant in the room jealous. Its large, thick, glossy leaves emerge in a stunning deep burgundy-maroon — almost the color of red wine — with a dark red midrib that adds yet another layer of richness. One of the most striking foliage plants available for indoor growing, Burgundy is also surprisingly easy to care for. Give it bright indirect light, water it when the soil dries out, and watch it grow into a breathtaking indoor tree over the years.
