Little Miss Figgy grows best in full sun and well-drained soil, and its compact form makes it perfect for pots or small gardens. For best crops, plant it in a container to restrict the roots, either on the patio or by sinking the pot into the ground. When planting, water in well and mulch lightly, keeping mulch away from the stem. A south or west-facing wall adds warmth and helps the fruit ripen.

Keep the soil moist but not soggy while the plant establishes. Once settled, it becomes drought-tolerant, though container plants need more frequent watering and occasional repotting. Use well-drained, fertile soil and feed sparingly—just a little balanced fertiliser in early spring is usually enough.

Hardy down to around -15 °C, Little Miss Figgy is well suited to UK gardens and can produce two to three crops a year. In autumn, keep only the pea-sized fruits tucked into the leaf joints, as these can overwinter and ripen the following summer. To protect them, mulch around the base and, in colder areas, wrap the plant or insulate the crown with fleece or straw. Prune in spring once frosts have passed, removing weak or frost-damaged growth and thinning shoots to let in light. A light summer trim—cutting new shoots back to five or six leaves—will encourage a bushier shape and better fruiting.
