Ficus lyrata ‘Variegata’ — Variegated Fiddle Leaf Fig

A rare, high-impact form of the classic Fiddle Leaf Fig, Ficus lyrata ‘Variegata’ features broad, violin-shaped leaves marbled in rich green, creamy white, and soft pale-green tones. Each plant has its own one-of-a-kind variegation pattern—perfect for collectors looking for a dramatic statement plant.

Bring home a true showstopper. Ficus lyrata ‘Variegata’, commonly called the Variegated Fiddle Leaf Fig, pairs the iconic oversized foliage of a traditional fiddle leaf fig with striking, painterly variegation.
This plant thrives with consistency: bright indirect light, a chunky well-draining mix, and watering only after the upper portion of the substrate has dried. Because the lighter portions of the leaves contain less chlorophyll, this variety benefits from brighter conditions than its all-green counterpart—but protect it from harsh, prolonged midday sun.
