ABSTRACT:
A new and distinct cultivar of Ficus benjamina called `Lauren's Delight` is characterized by a distinct variegated foliage that displays irregular cream-colored margins and two shades of green, occurring in asymmetric shapes and sizes, in the central area of the leaf. Slight differences in leaf shape and variegation pattern between leaves add to the visual appearance of the plant. The plant is also characterized by small leaves averaging approximately 4.5 cm in length and 1.5 cm in width. A freely branching growth habit gives the plant a full and compact appearance.
